Not be rich. Take your checkbook, pick a charity, write a number with lots of zeros, and boom, you're not rich.

It's mind-boggling.

Like I'm undoubtedly "rich" in terms of normal folks. I have a (low) 6 figure tech job. But take away 99.5% ... I'd be struggling even a single missed paycheck. To be so obscene rich that 99.5% is STILL unfathomable amounts of dynastic wealth

Single person.
Still billionaire after this.

Good. They can go. One of the Google founders already left.

But still. You can simply choose to "only" take home 20k/month
