Many Billionaires Are Well Paid Slaves
They have money but not freedom
I've been around enough billionaires to see a pattern that would shock most people.
They're slaves.
Not in chains, but in spirit. They have more money than small countries, yet they're trapped by the same thing that traps everyone else—the desperate need for human validation.
Joe Liemandt made billions but still needs to feel important. He creates elaborate ranking systems for employees, not because they work, but because he needs to feel like he's in control. His company treats humans like factory workers in 2025, which is the stupidest thing imaginable.
Even Dr. Alexander, one of the smartest people I know, gets caught in this trap. He needs the adoration of other humans to keep going. The applause. The recognition. The feeling that he matters.
But here's what I've learned: when people exhibit what looks like overconfidence, it's actually the opposite. Pride is an oxymoron. It stems from deep insecurity.
True confidence comes from one source only—divine love. Agape. The kind of love that doesn't fluctuate based on your performance or achievements.
Most billionaires are running on empty, trying to fill a void that money can't touch. They're the highest-paid slaves in human history, convinced they're free because they can buy anything they want. But they can't buy the one thing that would actually liberate them.
The freest person is the one closest to God. That might require letting go of attachments—status, validation, the endless hunger for more. It definitely requires recognizing that all the wealth and power in the world won't save you from the fundamental human need to be loved unconditionally.
I see this everywhere now. The desperate scrambling for control. The ranking systems. The surveillance culture. The treating of humans as replaceable units.
It's all Egypt on steroids. Modern slavery dressed up as success.
Real freedom starts when you stop needing anything from other humans to feel secure. When you realize that your worth doesn't come from what you've built or how much you've accumulated.
The richest man in the world is still a slave if he's driven by insecurity. The poorest man in the world is free if he knows he's loved by God.
Most people won't see this because they're too busy wanting to become the slave masters themselves.
