They can buy everything they want. Their children and grandchildren won’t even need to work for a single dime in their entire lives. They can use their money to acquire more companies and build more empires. That’s just some of the perks of being the richest engineers and tech company owners in the planet.
With poverty almost everywhere, the money these men make can actually feed a whole country. In fact, these men could also buy a country. Here’s a list of businessmen (who earned an engineering degree), engineers and owners of tech companies who are richer than most countries.
