Say you have an asset that produces for you £1k per year profit (adjusted for inflation) at a constant rate? (The proverbial immortal goose that lays golden eggs).

Logic would say it's potential is infinite.

But for an individual of age 30 it is only worth up to £50k in their lifetime. And they may care less about what happens to it after they die.

But to a company who buys it, companies can live essentially forever.
