    The only way in my eyes to become a billionaire is off the suffering of others.

    So what if I brought a $10 insulin vial to market and sold 100 million units?

    Is that taking advantage of the suffering of others? How is being a billionaire different than being a millionaire in that sense? Doesn’t money come when you provide something more valuable than the money to someone else?

      It depends on how you are viewing the situation and at what point you are declaring ownership. “I” brought. No you and the people who work for you brought it to market. Instead of sharing that wealth with the workers that created the value. You’ve hoarded it to get rich. And created suffering for those workers as their value was stolen from them to line your pockets. So “you” could bring something to market.

      That isn’t $1b of wealth or profit. You did not do that alone either.
