Ma, now China's richest man, said he takes inspiration from Forrest Gump. And based on a 2010 interview with Charlie Rose, Ma's view on wealth is indeed Gump-like. "If you have a couple of million, you're a rich guy," Ma said. "We have $10 million to $20 million, it's capital. Over $100 million, that's social resources. That's society giving it to you saying: 'you guys run it.' So it's not my money. I don't think I can spend it. I can only sleep in one bed. I can only eat three dinners. That's all. What is money for?"
