I've heard someone call it billionaire brain rot. I think at some point you end up with so much money and not enough people telling you no, that it literally changes your brain.
Seems likely.
I think it's also likely that it's very hard to amass billions unless you already have some sort of brain rot.
Imagine never hearing the word "No." as a complete sentence ever again in your life.
Or when you do just assuming you can override them eventually
We had a guy like that at work, he said basically "how far above you do I have to go to get what I want"
That's not a bad power to have if you use it for good
He wanted a second laptop dock for home when we had limited supply and not everyone had one yet
