<i>Again, you&#x27;re stating things people already know</i><p>I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s true. I think a lot of people want to find a way to think that billionaires are worse off than someone making 75,000&#x2F;year. They cite that study and incorrectly come to the conclusion that more money past 75,000 means increasing unhappiness under the &quot;mo money mo problems&quot; doctrine. People in this thread doing that in fact.<p>Your broader point though is uncontroversial that for the vast majority, working an extra hour per day for 100k more a year wouldn&#x27;t be worth it.<p>I argue that&#x27;s because the vast majority of people wouldn&#x27;t know what to do with ungodly amounts of money, likely because they don&#x27;t have ambitions that would require it, and thus see it as superfluous or as you state not worth the effort.<p>Most people, just want to play with their kids, take a vacation and zone out on netflix. That certainly doesn&#x27;t take billions.
