That is the rub.

I guess I'm the arbitor of that.

I'm kidding of course.

No, it has to be self determined, of course it does. But I defy anyone to tell me they can actually feel any sort of life style difference between being a Billionaire and a multi billionaire.

I would say when you reach a point where you cannot even experience accrued wealth, you really ought to be spending down until you can. That's sort of my minimum idea of a bar.

After that, I feel like it's just about taking stock of your situation. If you have more cars than family members, is that good? If you own several really large houses, should you?

I don't even disbelieve in wealth. It gives you something to strive for. But the Uber Wealth we see today, strikes me, personally as immoral.

I'm aware it's all a game of comparisons. I know my level of wealth is Uber wealth to street orphan in Calcutta. But I think that means I also should give some thought to what my needs and reasonable luxuries really constitute, not that people with vast tracks of land and gold plumbing fixtures shouldn't.
