Steve Jobs Burns Money for the Betterment of Mankind

I haven’t done the Stupid Quote of the Day in a while, so I submit:

I was worth about $1 million when I was 23 and more than $10 million when I was 24, and more than $100 million when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.

Steve Jobs

Gee, thanks Steve. We know, you did it for the betterment of mankind. Is there a pile of ashes in his back yard where he burned that money? I prefer truthful people:

Money doesn’t make you happy. I now have $50 million, but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

    If it’s not that important, I don’t think he should burn the stuff.

    After all, the ink on all that money may be toxic.

    Here’s a better idea: Just get a few others to help him manage it, so it won’t be a burden.

    I can help. I’m not greedy either. Just throwing enough my way to pay of the mortgage would be helpful, and he probably would never miss it.

    f[moderated] that, burn it good..help with the inflation…less money in circulation makes my dollar worth more…or, better idea..burn it and everything he owns..and the entire area he lives in….and truly empower the people by destroying the upper class..betterment of the world

    Well, I suppose, anarchy would do away with the current account deficit of $900,000,000,000. Neither would make your dollars worth much though.
