A finance expert and Fortune 500 therapist examine the potential motivations of billionaire cheater Steve Ballmer and his subordinates.

That's a lot of words to say, "fu, I have money."

From the article and underlying research though, it’s weirder than that. The ultra wealthy literally do not evaluate risk the same way. It’s like they’re unable to comprehend a scenario where they might be disadvantaged or endangered.

Because they aren't, is my point.

That seems to be their entire field of vision, IMO.
