I heard when you're rich enough, everyone wants you for your money. I read wealth can literally change your brain too. (Not posting the article because it was basically an ad for one of the most expensive mental hospitals in the world, and I didn't finish reading it.)

I'm mostly asking this for your judgements and reasoning of how rich our favorite treat-producing celebrities can be before you personally feel they're no longer good people... I'm not sure what I mean by the word "good." At some point they're the CEO of their own empire, right? When does the addiction to being a liberal defending right wing abuse eventually become part of the riches?

Yeah and people who bought a house in the UK forty years ago don't feel like millionaires even if their house value has gone up so much that it puts them over that line in assets. Particularly if they paid like 50k or something ridiculous for it back then
