    And paying yachts for Gaben, you forgot to mention the money also goes to doing that.

    Get that in your head people, if someone can sell you stuff and it makes them a billionaire then you got overcharged, you can find all kinds of excuses to defend them, they’re still making more a day in interests with 1 billion invested than the median income over four years.

      What he does with his money is none of my concern. Unlike the vast majority of other CEOs in his market cap tier, he’s actually paid fairly, compared to an average worker at Valve

        He’s

        A

        Billionaire

        No, he’s not paid fairly, no one should have that kind of wealth.

        He makes more from the interest on his fortune than the average salary at Valve even if the average is very high.

        There’s no reason to defend billionaires, no matter how good they pretend to be.

          I highly doubt that most people, given the opportunity, would not live like a billionaire. If someone builds a company like Valve, they’re going to live very well. That doesn’t say as much about the person as it does about the economic system.

            That’s the thing though, no one should get to live like that while the majority has a hard time affording basic needs.
