Money doesn’t solve everything, but it does solve most things, like where to store your ten-thousandth pair of shoes.

Imagine coming home after a hard day of training, and your partner just signed a seven-figure deal. You’d feel a little like the side character in your own video game. Ouch.

And fourth, the internet will keep talking about this for at least two more months. We are parasocial creatures who love a good saga. It’s cheaper than therapy and more fun than paying bills.
