Car Quote by Sam Bankman-Fried
“When you think about yourself personally, about spending money on yourself, how much can you spend usefully on yourself? You can buy nice food. You're talking about hundreds of thousands a year, right? You get to millions a year with fancy things, but after the 10th car, it's not fair what you're doing.”
