The way Americans and Europeans act after getting rich is wildly different.
Americans always optimize for the upside and Europeans always optimize for not losing what they already have.
We talked about this with @C_Angermayer on our episode with him.
The American is actually far more scared of 'not succeeding' than they are scared of 'failing'. This fattens American long-tails to a considerable degree.
The European mentality is all about principle protection.
