You probably have to be one nasty motherfucker to continue after you have 1.000 Million dollars.

More is just even more mentaly ill people IMO

Or, at least you have to love the things you need to do to get money. What given the things those people do, is even worse.

Let's be generous and let people dream and make it a cap at around ten millions.

More is just bad for everyone.
