Let's put it this way. The general public, rich people are inherently suspicious. Yeah. Let's put it that way. First of all, they've got all that money and exactly how did one obtain it? And I do not, of necessity, adhere to the view that behind every great fortune there is a great crime, but there often are. There are ways in which it's acquired. But I think it's...

One of the things I think that can happen is, particularly when people acquire a huge amount of money, and I won't name any names, but let's say there are people who perhaps in the tech sphere, who coming from no particular background of wealth, suddenly find themselves with $600 billion. Well, this is the question you would have to ask yourself, why me?

because you're one of the rare, tiny group of human beings who will ever have that kind of wealth in your hands. Even if you are a convinced atheist, I think at some point you have to begin to suspect that the cosmic muffin, Providence, whatever it is, put this money in your hands to do what?

So you're going to start a foundation and you're going to start backing all the things that you like. I think there's an element of ego that comes in with it as well.
