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.
The more money you have, the more you can imagine spending money on. You and I never think about buying our own private luxury yacht, complete with crew, helicopter, etc., because it's so beyond what we can afford. When, however, you look at your bank balance and realise that you can, but you just need to double your estate to make it worthwhile...
well you only have so much time in a day so not everyone wants to spend money on junk.
I myself would personally spend my money going out to parties, hanging with girls, hosting parties at my mansion, you know like Mr.Hefner.
I'd use my money to surround myself with ladies and party. I could do that at home and it wouldnt really cost alot of money, I could be set with just a billion dollars, hell I could be set with 100 million.
