No, that,my friend, is why i'm happy with my life and i can enjoy football.

I don't invest in Clubs just as i don't buy slaves :)

I've got a job, a house and have financial security for about 12 months - why should i chase after more money?

You have a job so you obviously are chasing after more money. If you only had 10B pounds, you could enjoy your football and get paid to own a team.

that you can do with 4 mill. There is absolutely no sensible reason to ever have more than a few million dollars.

And, just accept it, some people don't want to enrich themself on the work of other people. I believe in the value of work, and thus I deem getting rich off stock options as asocial.
