Being a billionaire (aka wealth hoarder) is a mental illness.

If they were hoarding anything else to this extent, going way beyond their rational needs, e.g. billions of tables, pokemon cards or toilet papers, everybody would know they are insane. But as it’s money, somehow they are supposed to be the smartest people in the world, and we should worship them.

No it isn't.

e.g. billions of tables, pokemon cards or toilet papers

These aren't directly related to sex appeal whereas money is.

Edit: I mean I assume. Perhaps there are some people out there who see pokemon cards as a good measure of offspring-raising potential, I dunno. In which case, accumulating pokemon cards wouldn't be considered a sign of mental illness either.

Who told you that?

Being an incel is also probably a mental illness

I don't know what you mean by that.

Look at yourself in the mirror.

That's what an incel looks like.
