What do people do with all this money? This isn't a rhetorical question; I'd really like to know what these people intend to do with such fortunes. I assume part of it is really stocks, and so it's company worth rather than personal worth, but still, I can't see ever needing more than, say, $2-3 million over the course of my entire life.
I'm sure anyone could think of ways to spend more than that... I mean think about it. Would you like a house on South Beach? Another one in Greece? Maids for both? A Delorian? A yacht? A yacht for your maids? A small fleet of luxury airplanes? A large reputable university? A President? A cure for AIDS? A solution to world hunger?
Any one can give out any amount of money. Because in fact money is not really paper bills, but rather power to do as you please.

But you'd never even use all the stuff you buy, at some point you have to give the money away.
I could only spend maybe a hundred million or so and thats my limits. I'd buy everyone in my family a house, I'd buy myself a house, and then what?
The rest of my time would be spent partying or traveling around giving money away.
