I simply cannot imagine being a centibillionaire and working 10 hours a week, much less 60.


"Working" is a generous word for his position. The "work" involves flying with private jet to expensive places regular people have never stepped foot in for noncommittal meanings, showing up around the office at random times, have a word with random high-level managers in the office. All the while not having the slightest thought about someone evaluating your performance or output.


Performance review 2025: yes

Refresher: a few lambos annual raise, small town as a bonus, larger town in RSUs


I would do it for the money but it's not a life I would choose if I was already rich


Also the part where you have three meals a day prepared for you, children’s needs taken care of, laundry washed ironed and folded, house cleaned. Working “hard” as a billionaire doesn’t mean shit.


A "centibillionaire" has 10 million in assets.

I think you meant "hectobillionaire".


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centibillionaires

> A centibillionaire (prefix: centi- from Latin centum 'hundred' and billionaire)[2] is an individual whose net worth is at least 100 billion units of a given currency, typically USD.

I agree it's weird - I would also have expected it to mean 1/100 of a billion, like a centimeter means 1/100th of a meter. I assume it's a term made up by an american or british person.


Being in wikipedia doesn't make it right. At most it means that several people have made the same mistake.


Words are made up, dude.
