We’ve discovered that the less we do, the more money we make.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that the people who are able to earn a lot of money often don't have to work very hard. They can make a lot just by doing the bare minimum. This might seem unfair, but it's how the system often works. The more successful you become, the more you can get away with doing less.
