When your wealth far exceeds that of most people around you, you become a conspicuous and high-value target in the eyes of the wicked. Huge wealth triggers two dangerous forces: 1. The malice in human nature is amplified by the disparity. When you are too ostentatious, some people may, out of jealousy, emotion, or impulse, see you as a target they can go after. 2. The greater the benefit, the more willing bad people are to take risks. In a place where the average wealth is 10, you have 100.
