Sounds like you should do them a favour and offer to switch places with them

Haha, I don't think I would want to! I would have to suddenly deal with a lot more stress and responsibility. I also love being able to walk around a new city and go to restaurants without a team of bodyguards. I definitely don't want to be a billionaire, but I wouldn't complain if I had $4 million.

To be honest, I'm not big on having my name in history books, or having statues made in my image. I'd like to help a lot of people if I can, but I don't want to start a foundation in my name. Everything is fleeting and ultimately meaningless, so why put your name on it.
