@DHH says successful founders have a moral obligation to buy a Ferrari: “You have an obligation, if you sell a product or service and you make a lot of money on it, to put that money back into the system. Send some of that money to the craftsmen of Italy to create you a beautiful Ferrari.” “I think that's a good part of capitalism.” “We want to better our lot and some of that is material, and there's no shame in that whatsoever.” “We would not have Ferraris to pine for if no one bought them. And who can buy them? The people who've been successful in other parts of business.” “Therefore it is your moral obligation to buy a Ferrari if you do really well (or Lamborghini or Pagani or whatever floats your boat).” “You should be sending this forward. This is how we get to have nice things. “Not everything can just be boiled down to needs. Man needs more than just bread to live. We need beautiful Ferraris, even if we don't own them.”
