I thought the formula was to be the child of a well-to-do family, start a tech company in a garage, then scam your way up to become a billionaire.

I volunteer at a horse stables because it's good for my mental health. I started getting lessons at a different stables and offered volunteering services if they need it and the owner got real confused because she thought I was asking for a job. Like no, I like farm work and want to help horse farmers for free because it makes me happy

Hey folks, I've been asleep for the past few hundred years. Can't wait to see how the profit motive has universally overlapped with providing the most utility to society! Such a neat little hack.

Uh oh. Uhhhh... Oh no...
