The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family -
Chapter 3699
With that being said, Jasmine added, "Furthermore, he also made a lot of big moves some time ago. He bought a lot of French and Italian luxury brands consecutively including the famous Hermes with great fanfare. Because of his almost monopolistic dominance in the luxury goods sector, his worth has now reached a staggering and shocking figure of one hundred and seventy billion US dollars, which would be over a trillion dollars after conversion." Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, "So, that's the case... It seems as though this old man can be regarded as a friend of all women worldwide!"
Having said that, Charlie looked at Bernard's profile carefully, and he found that Bernard was already in his seventies. It seemed as though Bernard was also beginning to worry about the extension of his life.
In truth, the top dignitaries in the world had always been like this ever since ancient times.
People in their teens to their twenties and thirties would be at a young, frivolous, and ignorant stage, and they would be unaware of how precious time was.
People in this age group were only concerned about the present and not the future.
That was also the reason why some people would be willing to sell a kidney for tens of thousands of dollars
or just for a mere cell phone. They would also be willing to sacrifice their own health or take risks just for a small profit.
The age of twenty to thirty to the age of fifty and sixty would be the stage when the foundation of life would truly be laid for the vast majority of people.
This was especially so for those top tycoons where these precious twenty or thirty years would be the most prosperous time of their lives.
Almost all of the rich and powerful people would have achieved an exponential surge in assets at this age.
As their careers become more and more successful, their personal wealth continued to increase, and their age would also continue to increase. These wealthy people would naturally enter a state where they would begin to cherish their lives after they were successful and old, hoping that they would be able to live longer and have more time to enjoy these remarkable achievements that they had created.
The more successful a person was, the more this was the case.
In ancient times, every king would dream of longevity.
In modern times, almost every billionaire would also repeat the mistakes of these ancient kings, who would secretly invest huge sums of money to replace a way to live forever.
David Rockefeller, the
third-generation heir of the
Rockefeller family in the United States, had also spent hundreds of millions of US dollars to undergo six heart transplants, living to the age of
one hundred and one years old.
In addition, many other rich people spent hundreds of millions of US dollars every year on cellular injections just to slow down their aging process.
There were also many other rich people like Jordan, who had invested tens of billions of dollars in various scientific research projects.
Therefore, the Rejuvenating Pill was particularly attractive to the rich and powerful people over the age of seventy.
As long as they spent money to buy a Rejuvenating Pill, all of those past investments with uncertain results and the long wait could be omitted completely.
However, it was also precisely
because of these different stages
and mentalities that the world's top
billionaires, such as the world's richest man, Bezos, who was the founder of Amazon, and the second
richest man, Musk, who we
founder of Tesla, did not sign up for this auction.
Charlie was also not surprised by this because these two people were not very old.
Bezos was older, but he was not in his sixties yet, and Musk was just over fifty years old.
These two people were in their prime in the field of entrepreneurship.
People of this age group would always be thinking about making money and doing big things, and they did not have any particular urgent need for longevity.
Moreover, these two people were bigwigs on the internet with avant-garde and radical ideas, and they would definitely be skepticalor even negative about something like the Rejuvenating Pill. Therefore, it was unlikely for them to sign up for the auction.
However, Charlie felt that they would definitely be eager for the Rejuvenating Pill in another ten or twenty years.
This was because, in his opinion, no one could escape this law!
