I don’t think I’ve ever set a price for how much I would sell out for. I’ve been watching a ton of Dave Chappelle, and I never realized how much of a legend that man is. He walked away from 50 million dollars. I’m not sure I would ever have the courage to turn 50 million dollars away. I’m not sure I would ever be able to bet on myself with that much courage and assurance. I think it’s pretty dangerous to start thinking about going big and taking all these risks without knowing what my limit would be. I always thought about going to school so I could make all this money and now money hasn’t been the biggest issue for me anymore.
How much money is enough money? Knowing that I’ve been raised with practically nothing to having it all to having to start over is a hell of a way to put things into consideration. I don’t exactly know what I would be doing if it wasn’t for having the moments where everything was taken from me. I think I’m a better person because of it, but I don’t know.
Would I be able to turn away 50 million like Dave? Would I even be able to turn away 50 thousand just like that? I guess when I put it into perspective, I sell out for a little bit more. I have a choice to stop, and I get time to fulfill whatever I want to accomplish now anyways. So, I kind of figure like that’s a little bit different. I was just reading about all the billionaires we imagined came up from nothing to become the most prominent billionaires the world has ever known. A lot of them had something bail them out. Bill Gates had his mom; she was the president of a prominent non-profit organization that had put him on with IBM. Imagine having that sort of connection with your mom. Then you have Zuckerberg that was tutored by a super famous guy, and they were paying tuition for his boarding school of like 57 thousand dollars. Jeff Bezos was bailed out with his parents with a loan of 240 thousand dollars. I am not trying to take anything away from them, but damn, if I had something to fall hard on like that, it would be different. I know I have everything I need, but sheesh.
I guess that’s one more thing to add to my non-stop thoughts, what is the limit I want to reach? How will I use any amount of money and put it back into my community?
