I mean, as she nears retirement my mother has a little more than a million dollars in net worth after working as a teacher/school librarian for her entire career. The founder of Apple having 10-15 times that honestly sounds low.
He’s definitely wealthy, but that’s about the upper range of what I consider acceptable levels of wealth for one to have. The difference between him and a billionaire is about a billion dollars still.
But also he can write a book or attend events or do consultancy and get one more million in a heartbeat. Let’s see your mother (or mine…) pull that one.
Sure, so if the only thing he cared about was having more money, then there are ways he could go about getting more money. He has made it very clear, though, that is not the only thing he cares about—at least, ostensibly; it’s not like I know the guy personally or anything.
