“Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa – and it’s about getting a balance.”

Richard Branson

Simplified Meaning:

Spending a lot of money on super fancy things like huge boats, private jets, and big cars won't make people genuinely happy. It also gives a bad example to their employees, making them feel like money is wasted. Instead, using that money to help others, like in poorer places such as parts of Africa, would be much more useful. For instance, building schools or hospitals could make a big difference in many people's lives. It's important to find a balance in how we use money to not only enjoy what we have but also to help those in need.
