Topic: If you are becoming a billionaire in 2025,buying a large ship should not be goal - page 3. (Read 626 times)

We all have opinions and are free to be ridiculously vocal on what other people should do with their money. Though it doesn’t mean you’ll be listened to.
Billionaires didn’t get to where they’re at by being philanthropic. They’re busy acquiring more money to actually care about the common man. They likely don’t even notice or don’t care much as they’re constantly in the midst of wealthy people themselves.

We also shouldn’t look to billionaires to intervene in issues that should primarily be the responsibility of the government. If our governments isn’t willing to take concrete steps to eradicate poverty, why should billionaires?
We can all play a role no matter how small and insignificant to try and reduce poverty rate in our society although I doubt poverty can totally be eradicated.

I think if we come to this day where we need to tell a billionaire person about how the world is working then we are already done. Something is not right with the society already if we have to make such posts and ask the rich to donate and help humanity. You don't need fat wallet to do good things, all you need is big heart to do things right. I am an Indian and I am very spiritual though I am artist and biotechnologies by profession. I listen to various "Gurus" who guide us through our life. I like to get involved with such activity. One of them have told me Or rather teaching me how a good work life balance can help boost me towards quality time. I have decide to donate fruits in the name of God and spiritual ritual on every alternate Saturday to the needy. It takes just few carates of banana to feed at least 100 needy and my family is doing this since covid. It's highly satisfying and we are already making the difference by feeling their tummy at least every other Saturday.

If we ever come to an end where we are giving more importance to our own lifestyle (all the time) then we will be just living for selfness and nothingelse.

Anyways, whatever amount of money you earn, we die alone, we take nothing with us, better keep doing donations or charities. No matter the level of it. Just do it.

 We don't need a billionaire, we need billion hands to join together.

I have no idea where your advice came from but it's just seriously ridiculous. First of all, why should anyone take your advice? My money is my own problem and responsibility so what I do with it should not be anyone's business but me (unless I decide to do illegal things then I'll have to answer to the law). Secondly, helping isn't required, anyone can help whether they are billionaires or average-earning individuals, there isn't a law that mandates us to provide anything for anyone outside of ourselves and our family. Third, if someone does end up helping they probably wouldn't be as excessive as your suggestions.

Why should I follow your advice? My money is my freedom, and I have my own plan if I become a billionaire. Everyone's situation is different, so their plan is also different according to their experience and mindset. So we can't tell or advise anyone what they should do with their money or anything. No one was asking for your advice in the first place. That's why I strongly disagree with your whole manifesto thing. Maybe I will agree if it is your manifesto and your to-do list for the future when you're a billionaire. Just one thing: someone randomly giving this advice to you, would you agree with this and follow accordingly? Just as simple as that, think before giving any advice.

While I somehow agree with some of the points that you have mentioned, we generally do not have any obligation to decide for people who have their own resources.

These billionaires are rich for a reason- they worked tirelessly and aimed at every opportunity to build their wealth and their current status. In addition, majority of these rich people have their respective charities and projects in which they are involved. Slowly and surely, they are contributing in order to help and eradicate poverty slowly.

Due to this, we have no control on how we can decide for others. It is their money and they have every right to use it to whatever satisfaction may bring. Ultimately, if something happens with the money they spent on, it is them who suffer for their own decisions; that is why we should stop telling other people what to purchase, etc.

well this website allows free speech so he can say it. As for the solution to the poor blowing up the entire planet and killing everyone of us is the only way the governments could end poor people. It is simply a sad truth that some people don't mind being poor.

I didn't know that most of the government are eradicating poverty, they are not even trying, believe me.

And, you don't have the rights to tell anyone not to buy whatever they wanted to buy because of shouldering the government's responsibility to give jobs to the unemployed poor people, free houses, etc. I don't also think not buying a large ship will help poor people from poverty. To solve poverty, we should stop electing corrupt politicians, stop vote buying, because we're the one who are going to suffer in the long run because of it.

Current my passive income seems keep away to be billionaire in 2025 but its not wrong with dreaming when becoming billionaire what have to do? actually property investment is not worth right now with many of billionaire not interested with that kinds of investment. I think worth when investing in technology due some billionaire make their research and launch product needed around of the world to earn more profitable than other investment. 
Actually when becoming billionaire most dreaming want to help another people who have difficult life and many of them not get highest level of education. Most important with our assets can help other and give benefit for many people to make their life be better in the future.

I don't know which way to make me a billionaire. but if that really happens. I think there is money that is due to the poor in my hands. I understand that's the result I got. but it's not good if a billionaire just satisfies his prestige, that's not how his status is. If I help more people, it's much better to be called a billionaire. that status will be useful for many people.

There are no rules that applies to how and where people should spend their legally hard earned wealth on, in as it's not causing harm and threat to the life of the next man, so for any man wealthy not to care it's no crime it's something to be  done at will and not make it seem like a duty owed. However, if I chose to be philanthropic that's my business and if the wealthy man next door chose not to that's still his business and he must have his reasons which must be respected.

Another thing is that too much of philanthropy here and there can cause or breed many lazy bones who sit down hoping that some wealthy guy somewhere will do the needful by sending help from his hard earned wealth. And by the way all of these you mentioned are primarily constitutional responsibility of the government that's why we have them in charge of governance.

No one is going to eliminate poverty in the world by 2030. Well maybe Putin if he blows the place up and kills us all there will be no poverty. At some point in my life I realized what Jesus Christ said was true “The poor you will always have with you” (Mk 14:7). My bible reads :“The poor you will always be with you” (Mk 14:7)

Point is governments are not going to fix the issue. So you need to ask yourself what should I do since I am stuck here with everyone else.  Buying a big yacht  may get you killed by pirates so don't buy one. Get a nice home you can defend and set it up for you and your loved ones. Seems like a plan to me.

Free food to the poor will only allow the poor to make more kids a terrible idea on your part.

Possible there could be a different perspective people who made a choice will focus in themselves because its their first time to have this large amount so they want to enjoy for now, but later on after they realizing they losing up a lot of money that's the time they come up with the idea of making an investment to make secure their asset, most of the mistakes of the millionaire who just recently got their million is to become too much expensive because they can now buy a lot of things let's say lifestyle inflation there's nothing wrong with it as long as you can sustain your self in the future. Spend your money wisely or just suffer in the end to lose all those because of your wants.

I am really curious OP because you specifically mention large ship in the title, is this a common practice in from where you come from? Rich people buying large ship? Because even I live in an archipelago, I have never heard anyone buying large ship, even the ultra rich, they usually just put their money on real estate, if we talk about transportation, then most common thing is private jet I guess.

It's still the same I think, they just buying things that they need and desire, only small people actually contribute to the community like what OP's propose, 


But to be honest I really can't find anyone who did all those things, and can solve all those problem, it's too utopic that you think few people can solve world problem, those problem is structural and need a huge political will and power to be solved.

Ofcourse, riches becomes a problem when people build it up for themselves. Resources that normally should be for many are now accumulated by one or few people to be used alone. Hugh amount of money that should be enough for many is used for worldly pleasure or spent on things for the use of one or few people.
Another problem is serving riches and trusting that it will solve all or most problems,which is the main reason people strongly desire to have it. And when they have it, problems increase and most of the riches is spent or wasted solving them. So, they have to spend most of their lives serving or chasing after riches to accumulate and waste more. And it becomes their god that fails all the time & can't satisfy their lust for pleasure.


It's much better to serve and trust the CREATOR of the Universe than riches. Doing so shrinks or eliminates your problems and you then understand you don't need too much riches for yourselves... And be more focused on using most of the riches for others in need.

---

When you trust and serve the CREATOR, HE strengthens the Shield around you which consequently strengthens the things in the shield and they last for you. When you serve money the shield is weakened and things in it nolonger last for you

Of course, all that can be done, it can be nice and good for everyone... but then "power" would have no meaning, and slaves would not exist. Damn money and the neverending race for money are making this world worse and worse.

The list of top 10 most expensive yachts is impressive... We can bet that this records will be broken soon:

I really can't see myself buying that, maybe I'm just saying this now because I don't have that kind of money yet, or maybe it's just not within my interests.

Anyone can help if they want to, even without billions. Even if you have just an extra, you can still help with what you have and willingly assist those in need without coercion.

That's why you can't dictate to anyone what they want to do with their money because it's their money, and it's their decision on how they want to spend it.

The thinking of billionaires and ordinary people like us is not the same, they have the idea of getting more money by investing a much larger amount of capital. Do you think we can do that and billionaires won't? For me it's nonsense to do something without involving large capital to achieve large profits. You take a big role from the point of the post made, but difficult life forces people to look for ways to solve their own lives and lucky if there are billionaires who are willing to take on big responsibilities who want to help many poor people in the world.

Not all billionaires are sensitive to the social life of small communities and they themselves must solve the problem. This work is limited and can only be done by people who have sympathy and high social feelings towards other people, but not regardless of the finances they have. It is impossible for people like us to build livable houses for the poor, provide free quality food and provide them with medicines.

I think this is a great idea, but you cannot tell these people how they should spend their money especially they really worked hard to reach where they are now.
Also, I think it should be the government who should solve this kind of problems such as hunger and poverty. However, in solving such problems, there should be a shared effort between the government and its people. And I believe that there are billionaires who are helping less fortunate people through involving themselves in some charities.
Afterall, helping should be a voluntary act and is not something that other people should imposed to you. Simply, billionaires buying large ships does not have anything to do with this because they have the right to spend their money as much as they want.

If I can become a billionaire or trillionaire in 2025, I will ensure my family is safe first and then think about the people around me. Buying a big boat is not my goal because I can also help the people around me with that much money. Caring is something that will become rare in the following years.

By becoming a billionaire or trillionaire, I can help the people around me a little. There is no need to build houses for people who don't have homes yet, especially since that is not our main task. But the people around us are the ones who need our help more so we need to help them and make sure they are safe first.

After every person around us is safe, we go to another place to help more people. But we need help from other people to help more people, so it is better to focus on the people around you first and then help the other people.

billionaires aren't someone you would stumble upon ocassionally. moreover the things you mentioned usually are already the field of those charity organization and billionaires usually would donate to them.
moreover these hard earned money that amounts to billions by those billionaires they have all the right to do whatever they want, they could be buying another company for the sake of expanding his business its not our problem.
moreover as many have stated, billionaires doesn't have all their assets liquidated most of them are in form of stocks basically ownership of certain company.
liquidating all their assets would be difficult in reality.
