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?

I think I would like to try to redirect the money away from me. Give myself a strict allowance and give the rest to people to distribute to others. (Hopefully decided by some democratic body, that's most importantly not me). Like, I personally should not have unfettered access to so much money, nor should anyone else. This is of course thinking that there is enough money coming in, to pay for it's management and distribution.
