There are many reasons to start a business. I like doing so because the most honorable path IMO is serving others - I make more money the more I provide people what they want. They voluntarily give my businesses money. That’s far superior to being paid by taxes, stealing, inheriting it, and so on. Voluntarily receiving money from people who desire the services of my businesses is the best thing I can provide humanity. Becoming wealthy was a consequence of serving a huge amount of people well.

The latter part of my life will involve various ways of using my wealth in ways I see benefit society. This will be very unique to my own style.

From this I derive that you believe you are compensated for the good you do humanity. I, too, hope this is true. Thanks for answering my question and defending your position.
