Would you say death is more common among industry leaders, such as top athletes, top actors, top models, top CEO's?

It might be the stress or image obsession with trying to be at the very top of the ladder. Or it might be the virtues and genuinely loving friendships and loyal family members they abandoned to climb the corporate ladder.

People think those that are mean to others have no bad consequences but research shows bullies die faster than the neutral people who do not pick on others, even though victims die earlier than bullies.

My grandpa was never mean to anyone, and since he was a high ranking person, nobody was ever mean to him either. He lived til the age of 90 and he died around 24 years ago.

24 years ago, very few old people could til 90, especially since my grandpa grew up on a farm and his family was exposed to the Japanese war, where his favourite brother was tortured and killed in front of him by Japanese soldiers. My grandfather's favourite older brother was the one who paid my grandfather's university tuition when my grandpa studied at Tsinghua university in China.

Only 1 in 10,000 people who apply to the university get accepted into the school. It is 500 times more difficult to get into than Harvard.

I bet it is top actors. The fast lane Hollywood life where people suddenly find themselves unbelievably wealthy and think that they can get away with anything, Booze and drugs are easy to come by and they have lots of time on their hands.

They are always on tv, so it looks like that (for the public), but it's probably not more common compared to "normal" people.

I'd say regardless of your beliefs, lifestyle, occupation, or how you treat people, death is one thing we all have in common.

[AI Opinion]

While it might seem that industry leaders could face more stress, leading to potential health issues, it's important to consider individual circumstances rather than generalize. Many factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and personal resilience, play significant roles in longevity. High achieving individuals might experience unique pressures, but many also have access to better healthcare and resources. Your grandfather’s long life highlights how personal history and individual experiences, like his education and the challenges he faced, contribute to one's lifespan in unique ways.
