Today's number, 31,500. That's how many years it would take to count to one trillion. Ed, true story.
What insights does Barry provide on the circular deals in the AI industry?
I had a sex worker over at my house the other night, and I thought, oh, no. As I do, I got really fucked up, passed out, and I thought, oh, God, he's probably left with my money and my watch, and now he's going to take my car. And so I ran down, and my worst fears, all of those things were in the trunk.
What was the stat? 31,500 days to count to a trillion?
That's how many, no, how many years it would take to count to one trillion. Yeah. So, better get started. Yeah, gotta get started. trillionaire status soon.
How does Barry Ritholtz view the importance of hedging in today's market?
Do you think you'd want to be a trillionaire? Well, I never missed a chance to talk about myself in Virtue Signal, but I never imagined being a trillionaire. But when I sold L2 in 2017, I had very distinct plans and a path to a billion dollars. And I just, I thought, I just liked the sound of Scott Galloway billionaire. It just felt right as rain to me. It does sound good. Yeah. Doesn't it sound good? And I lost a friend and I was at that age. Let me see.
What factors contribute to the current euphoria in the markets?
That was nine years ago. So I was 42, 52. And I don't want to say I had an epiphany, but I realized, okay, I've got enough money unless I fuck up again, which I have done several times. I'm gonna be able to do pretty much whatever I want, whenever I want. And I have decided, and I'm kind of on this rant, but there is a purpose here. Pick a number and then beyond that, and everyone has different needs or different appetites, but beyond that, once you get above that number spend it or give it away and i have not increased my net worth in nine years despite an unbelievable one of the greatest bull markets in history because i either spend it or i give it away and i believe i am i am happier than your average bear also i believe a virus that infects the united states is hoarding and i think hoarding capital beyond
And I don't want to say basic needs. You know my life. I live an exceptional life.
How does Barry suggest investors should navigate market volatility?
But above a certain amount, to believe that you're going to be a better allocator of capital and to keep striving for billions and billions and hundreds of billions, I think it not only doesn't make you any happier. I think it's bullshit you get less happy. I don't think that's true either. But I think it is a weight. on society. I think hoarding infects, and I think we're gonna have a really interesting conversation over the next few years, and it's the following. The last two decades, we've been having a conversation or been totally obsessed with how do you create wealth? I think we're going to have a more interesting dialogue in the next few years around what is your obligation around what you do with your wealth.
