Anecdote about money and life
I was just talking to my brother and he told me a story that I really liked. So I’ll share it with you all as best as I can remember it:
So there’s this hedge fund manager who is really successful. He makes somewhat over a billion dollars a year. Literally. Over a billion a year.
Anyhow, he’s talking to John Grisham - for those of you who aren’t familiar with him, he’s an extremely successful, well-known and respected writer.
So they’re talking and at some point the hedge fund manager says “Y’know John, last year I made more money than you’ve made on all the books you’ve ever published in your entire life. In one year John.”
Since this was factually true, John Grisham agreed. “Yeah. That’s true. You did make that much, but there’s something I have that you will never have.”
Manager-“Oh yeah? What’s that John?”
JG-“Enough.”
