A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

If you're a billionaire intent on becoming even wealthier, that usually implies that you really enjoy being a successful businessman. I don't see why business success for its own sake would be inherently less satisfying than other sorts of accomplishment.

You don't achieve that level of wealth ethically or without exploitation, no matter how much business you're doing
