    Billionaires are billionaires because there are few who are billionaires. If everyone was a billionaire then nobody would see billionaires in awe but would see billion billionaires in awe. This is just a consequence of our social behaviour as being different always has a different response.

    What I am saying is, billionaires are billionaires because not everyone is a billionaire and everyone is low compared to them.

    !Note: I am not talking about “depriving people” topic. That’s different. !<
