Chapter: 3827
As she spoke, Wan Ting added: "And besides, he made a lot of big moves recently, grandly acquiring multiple luxury brands from France and Italy, including the well-known Hermès, due to his near-monopoly status in the luxury goods field. His net worth has reached an astonishing $17 billion, which is equivalent to over 100 billion yuan."
Leaf Dichen nodded and smiled: "So it seems... looks like this old fellow is truly a global friend of women!"
As he spoke, Leaf Dichen carefully looked at the data on Bernard Elron, only to discover that he is already in his seventies, likely starting to worry about his longevity.
In fact, throughout history, the world's top-tier aristocrats are all like this.
From their teenage years to their early thirties, people go through a period of youthful ignorance and take time for granted.
At this age, people only care about the present and don't think about the future.
So it's no surprise that some people would be willing to sell one kidney for tens of thousands of dollars or sacrifice their health for a small gain.
From their early thirties to mid-sixties, for most people, this is the stage where they truly lay the foundation for their lives.
Especially for those top-notch wealthy individuals, this precious period of 20 to 30 years is when they truly experience the most vigorous development in their lives.
Almost all billionaires have achieved exponential growth in their assets during this age range.
As their careers continue to flourish, personal wealth increases, and age advances, these wealthy individuals will naturally enter a state of "regretting life" after achieving success and growing older, hoping to live longer and have more time to enjoy the fruits of their labor they have created.
The more successful one is, the more so it is.
In ancient times, every Chinese emperor dreamed of immortality.
In modern times, almost every billionaire also follows in the footsteps of ancient emperors, secretly investing huge sums to find a way to achieve eternal youth.
The Rockefeller family's third-generation heir, David Rockefeller, spent tens of billions of dollars on six heart transplants and lived to be 101.
Aside from this, many wealthy individuals spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year on cell injections to delay aging.
Like Fei Jianzhong, who invested dozens or even hundreds of billions of dollars in various research projects, there are many more.
Therefore, the appeal is especially great for those over 70 years old.
As long as you spend money to buy a rejuvenation pill, you can eliminate all those uncertain investments and long waits that came before.
However, it's precisely because of the different stages and mindsets that the world's richest people, such as Amazon founder Bezos, ranked first on the list, and Tesla founder Musk, ranked second, don't bother to sign up for this auction.
Leaf Chen didn't find it surprising, because these two people are not yet old.
Bezos is a bit older, but he hasn't reached his 60th birthday, while Musk has just passed his 50th.
These two people in the entrepreneurship field are all at their peak age.
People of this age group think about making money and doing big things, and they don't have any special urgent needs for longevity.
Moreover, these two people are both internet-born tycoons with forward-thinking and radical ideas, so they would definitely hold a skeptical or even negative attitude towards rejuvenation pills. Therefore, it's impossible for them to sign up for the auction. JrNovels.com
