Well, for anyone who has upped their
usage of amazon.com since the corona-
virus pandemic, you may or may not be
happy to know you've helped Jeff Bezos
become the world's first 200 Billion-
aire.
For quite some time, he's been among
the world's -4- centibillionaires, a
term used in the following article to
describe those worth at least $100
billion, including Facebook's Mark
Zuckerberg (4th at $109.1 billion), ...
... LVMH's Bernard Arnault (3rd at
about $115 billion, LVMH a multi-
national conglomerate specializing
in luxury goods, the Hennessy por-
tion resulting from a merger 'tween
champagne & cognac producers), ..
... Microsoft's Bill Gates (2nd at
$116.1 billion), and due in large
part since March, 2020 to the cor-
onavirus pandemic, amazon.com's
Jeff Bezos (1st at $204.6 billion).
I suppose that since no human has
ever been worth $200 billion, they
haven't yet come up with a synonym
for that.

But is he happy? Probably, though unfortunately,
even though each of us likes to think we'll live
forever and won't die early, we're all susceptible
to the whims & fortunes of outrageous fate (i.e.,
naturalism) & as I well know from battling depres-
sion from age 8 'til I was cured thanks to 2 meds ...
... in 2005, since retiring (existing thanks to my
dad helping me get a government-assisted apart-
ment in 2005 & being fired from Walmart leading
to my early retirement -hmmm, I'd have to look
that up- whenever I did that) I've been happier
than I've been my whole life, freed from the ...
... burdens of having to work for a living & simply
enjoying using the internet for entertainment &
writing (with 2 big screens -55 inchers- + 1 small
screen) meeting my meager needs at a thus far
acceptable level. My net worth, hmmm, haven't
ever figured that out, but it's enough to stay ...
... alive happily since 2005 & retiring early, thus
far, probably it's very close to -0- , ranking I dunno,
4 billionth? (-;

So, I'm working on a post regarding the Beatles'
hits, including hits after they broke up, by Paul
McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, &
Ringo Starr, & some point along the way I look
up their net worth and am surprised to discover
that the richest, Paul McCartney, his net worth ...
... is $1.2 billion, much lower than I expected.
https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/paul-mccartney-net-worth-2021-is-he-the-richest-rock-star/ar-BB1cy84E
As for his rank among celebrities (a list of top
50 'celebrities' that's different than the billionaire
list by Forbes), he's ranked 8th:

Other celebrities I'm familiar with on that list:

4. Oprah Winfrey (TV host/interviewer) $3.5 billion

Why I keep up with billionaires? I dunno, just a
proclivity of mine that wrongly associates being
rich with being happy, something that many of
the billionaires have, but since money can't buy
happiness (or so the saying goes) presumably
some of them don't.
Myself, happier than I've ever been, getting rid
of my depression thanks to Wellbutrin XL & Mir-
tazapine back in 2005, I think, along with taking
early retirement & having sufficient money to live
on thanks to a government-subsidized apartment
I live in & despite spending more than I made for
almost my entire life.
Not working, that's a big help, as I rarely enjoyed
any of the jobs I had for very long, a near lifelong
depression I'd had since age 8 a major factor in
that, although that work thing, it never really was
my thing, just something I did 'cause I had to to
survive, & I'm enjoyng early retirement immensely.
Anyway, back to billionaires, here's the Fortune

5 Larry Page .............. $123 billion, Google
6 Sergey Brin ............. $118.5 billion, Google
7 Larry Ellison ............ $117.3 billion, Oracle (software)
8 Warren Buffett ........ $102 billion, Berkshire Hathaway holding company,
notable holdings include 26.7% of Heinz, 18.8% of American Express,
11.9% of Bank of America, 9.3% of Coca-Cola, 6.3% of Apple, per the
following article as of October 5 2021: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkshire_Hathaway
~~~
10 are worth $50 billion to $96.5 billion,

59 are worth $10 billion to $37.4 billion,
spots 19th-richest to 77th richest.

stay alive, having dealt with Islit (Insulinitis, near-
total to total loss of endogenous insulin) since
age 5, should work fine at that height, albeit I
may have to switch to using insulin injections
were I to go into space as I'm not sure how well ...
... an insulin pump works in a gravity-free envir-
onment. Not to worry, I'm not famous and have
no plans to be sent into space, not in the fore-
seeable future, though I live very near where
SpaceX is testing / launching some of their ...
... largest vehicles to be sent to the moon &
Mars in the coming years, & that's due to Elon
Musk (i.e., 2nd richest person in the world)
building his new Starbase, Texas about 180
miles south of where I live.
