      It’s likely the same as corporations.

      Once they get so much money, they focus on quarterly profits. Then you compare percentage change from last quarter/month.

      So he just doesn’t think about the billions he has banked.

      Or the multimillions he makes a year

      It’s a small percentage of change, and making 90 million after 100 million can be viewed as losing money this way, which makes these fucking psychopaths believe they need to be even shittier to make more money.

      He’s not looking at his wealth, but at the rate he’s accumulating it, even though he literally can’t spend what he has now if he tried.

      I would assume it’s just a compulsion.

      Like a compulsive gambler constantly looking for the next thing to bet on, or a compulsive eater looking for the next thing to eat, he’s constantly looking for the next way to dick people over for profit.

      This is a fund for small investors to make money on the housing market, so probably not either of the above

      This is a good business idea that just happens to only function because one of our systems is totally broken. The business itself is not the problem.
