The son of Asia's richest man married, according to recent news reports. The wedding was said to have been planned for seven months, and as expected, there were many well-known personalities from all over the world drinking, merrymaking, exchanging contact information, and making connections.
I do not know Mukesh Ambani, but he is rumored to be the world's ninth richest man, with an estimated net worth of $116 billion and a slew of conglomerate businesses in various industries. I am not sure what he specializes in, and we only learn about these people when they spend money.
I believe that one of the reasons why the world cares so little about the world's wealthiest people is that they make no contributions to human society, and when they do, it is always publicized in the newspapers, usually for sinister reasons. Rich people keep to themselves, and the friendships they do have are primarily intended to help them gain power and wealth.
This is why wealthy people want their children to marry the children of other wealthy people, in order to establish a dynasty and broaden their reach. When a politician's son marries the daughter of a Chief Justice, you can see the potential for a nefarious relationship.
A politician requires a judge to cover up their crimes, as well as the contact information of police officers, in order to avoid prosecution, and having people who do not contribute to their wealth may be inefficient.
When wealthy people have affluent friends, their lives become easier.
There is no sentiment here.
Marriage demonstrates that wealthy people value more money and affluence over mundane things like love. Nothing beats randomly meeting a stranger and falling in love. Consider the following scenario. People with similar levels of affordability can be found in the same places, such as restaurants, boutiques, jewelry stores, and so on.
This is why it is more common for a governor's son to meet the daughter of a company's CEO and form a romantic relationship than to fall in love with a poor street girl. That is why their weddings, parties, and social events are strictly invitation-only.
Many people believe that this is selfish behavior, but it is simply a way of life. Life is highly classified, and by natural provision, you will find yourself where your financial capacity allows.
I used to say that there is nothing like contentment. People's expectations of how much money they need to achieve financial freedom are never met when they actually achieve it.
This is the way humans are.
We set milestones and goals only to break them, and then we achieve them; we just want more and more, and we set ourselves up to meet those people who we believe can help us get there. This is typically interpreted as greed, but it is not. When people have nothing, they set a goal for themselves, and once they reach it, they realize they need more money.
People want to associate with things that feel similar.
People's friendships and acquaintances can change at times simply because their financial situation changes. Sometimes it is not pride. We have established a sense of diversity in life. Poor people get cheap items, while wealthy people get expensive items.
There are places where you go to prove your financial status, and some people move from one level of life to another simply to demonstrate how well they have done for themselves.
Some people believe that wealth is all about contentment, but this is not true.
Wealthy people are rarely satisfied, because the higher they rise, the more they want. It is why Elon Musk and co. are constantly fighting to reclaim the top spot as the world's wealthiest when they are displaced; it is no longer about the money, but about the pride and vanity that comes with it.
Someone who is the world's 1000th richest person feels they do not have enough; even though they could almost afford a comfortable life, they continue to make more money because they want to climb the ladder. At the end of the day, money is used to seek the benefits of vanity for those who already have it. The reality of life is that wealth equals wealth, and nothing else.
