The real question is how do you define best system. I bet those billionaires think this is in fact a pretty good system. Though they are probably never satisfied, so they wouldn't say best until they could snap thier fingers and a million people would start working to make whatever idea popped into thier head happen.
Gatcha addicts.
All of them. Gambling addicts addicted to watching numbers grow.
Pretty much. Though from things I have read they are more likely to be competition addicts. Gambling would be one way to compete with others. But yeah, honestly, I wouldn't want to be them. I consider most of them mentally ill.
They aren't even happy. By most accounts they lead pretty miserable lives, apart from the exorbitant wealth. But it's gotta grind some gears when you automatically assume everyone is only friendly to you because of your money.
Yeah, I don't know if I would go as far as to say they aren't happy. Seems more like never satisfied to me.
