"Wealth provides financial agency over one’s life, Wealth gives you choice. It provides the economic security to take risks and shield against financial loss.

With wealth, you can afford the best health care, live in the safest neighborhoods, get the best education, and hire the best lawyers to fight for your interests.

Wealth lets you innovate and try new things, like opening a business.

Most of all, once you have wealth, it can be invested and grow exponentially over your lifetime. And you can pass this wealth and all its advantages down to the next generation."

"In September 2021, Perkins and Obrecht made a surprise announcement. The couple owned 31% of Canva at its latest valuation, putting their personal net worth somewhere around $12.4 billion. They were now donating 97% of their stake—30% of all Canva’s shares or $12 billion—to the Canva Foundation, which they created earlier that year with a mission to solve some of the biggest, foundational problems around poverty. (The couple retains their voting rights in the company.) “I have this very wildly optimistic belief that there is enough money and goodwill in the world to solve all of the world’s problems,” says Perkins of the decision.

They’d already signed the 1% pledge, giving 1% of Canva’s resources and profits to charity (and would later sign the Giving Pledge, promising to donate at least half of their net worth to philanthropy during their lives or upon their death). “Who needs billions of dollars?” Perkins asks bluntly. “There’s nothing enjoyable to do with billions of dollars. That’s an absurd thing.”
“If the whole thing was about building wealth, that would be the most uninspiring thing I could possibly imagine.”

Politics now ask you to define yourself by who you hate, rather than what you love.
