                                                                  Sam Bankman-Fried

 

Some of these billionaire club have their own Yacht, Air Craft and Island.  But the crypto-billionaire, 30 years old Sam Bankman-Fried lives a modest life.  He  says that "You pretty quickly run out of really effective ways to make yourself happier by spending money. I don't want a yacht."

He sleeps on a beanbag and drives a Toyota corolla, and has a Robin Hood-like philosophy.

Bankman-Fried, like many on Wall Street, didn't understand crypto.  He saw that certain coins were selling for way more on some exchanges than others.  This was kind of buy-low, sell-high arbitrage opportunity.  Bankman-Fried recruited a few friends to help him with his project.  They moved into a three-bedroom house in Berkeley and dug into the arbitrage.  It took Bankman-Fried's crew four months to write the code underlying a new exchange, which opened for business in May, 2019.

He is a billionaire who wants to give away his fortune.  He will keep enough money to maintain a comfortable life: One per cent of his earnings or, at minimum, $1,00,000 a year.  Other than that, he still plans to give it all away --  every dollar, or Bitcoin, as the case may be.

He is probably the first person to play a computer game while giving a talk.

 

The Forbes' Elite Club are competing with each other for the Numero Uno spot in the world ranking.  Elon Musk is comfortably placed with $100 billion more than the close second, Jeff Bezos.


God was never unkind to these billionaires.  Many of them really part with their fortune by indulging in kind and generous deeds like organizing better education and health fundas.   The Philanthropists amongst them helps in eradicating illiteracy and poverty through Charitable Trusts.  An endeavor which benefits the have-not.


Many of them slept  not just on top of the beanbags but the bed of roses.  Without them the world will not have dreams or fortune hunters.


Hail the king, hail the philanthropists, hail the billionaires !

But in this case not only at the end but also in the beginning of his career through the end - alpha and omega - there was a ray of hope.

The ‘Phalke Award’ and many more eminent awards were conferred on him for writing a fairy tale about what happened in Satyajit Ray’s life. A special ‘Academy Honorary Award’ for lifetime achievement as a director was also won by him and he was the first and yet only Indian to receive that award. The man had a magnan...
