To use a more realistic example, it’s hard for me to agree that a billionaire values their tenth vacation home more than a homeless person who is in danger of freezing in the winter.
I don’t see “value” as a feeling. A freezing person might desire a warm fire, but their value of it is limited by what can be expressed.
That said, a person is a complex asset, and so the starving person might trade in their “apparent plight” (e.g. begging).
For example, the caring seller of the last sandwich might value alleviating “apparent plight” more than millions of shares of AMZN. Whether they do or don’t exactly determines the value of an individuals suffering against some other asset, in terms of the last sandwich.
