The f* you money is nice. You don't need to be nice. You don't need to smile to your idiotic boss. That's priceless.
Now I really feel like a slave.
sorry. no exaggeration this time. in fact, i was thinking, if i could guarantee winning the UK lottery every single week, it would still take me one and a half years to 'win' his total bonus.
exercise for the reader: calculate how much longer it would take to match his winnings + interest assuming 5% annual return.
New exercise for the reader. If his bonus was £150M and if we assume a money manager can get 6% per year on average taking very little risk and if we further assume inflation to be around 3%, that means he can keep his 150M in real value and still spend that 3% (which will in turn grow with inflation). This means that if he earns nothing else, he'll have £4.5M per year to spend, likely pay no tax on this, and his descendents will have exactly the same income in real terms until the end of time. So when they say the rich stay rich, they know what they're talking about.
