The 80 year old became a multimillionaire because he is either a hard, smart worker, or a bit lucky, but did not depend on UBI or the government for a handout
The musician is not marketing herself well enough, or is dependent the other job for income, or the music is just a hobby/passion
People can do charitable things or work pro bono if they so choose...that is their right.
We can play these scenarios all day...I'm just not an advocate for people being dependent on the government and I am not a fan of handouts and free market manipulations. If you want those Socialist things...go to Venezuela.

Right, he most likely depended on a big inheritance. Or maybe an incredible amount of luck - as you can see at the big amount of people who are smart, work hard, and don't ge to be millionaires.
But that is besides the point, don't run away!
All those people work even if they don't have to. And often having to work for your living prevents people from really working. If Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak had been poor blacks that needed to feed their mother, I am quite sure the computer world would look quite different.
So you prefer people being depending on Companies that don't care a shit about them, not least because you can't fight back?
