Nobody should ever be a trillionaire. It's monstrous that such a thing is even possible.

Agreed. I mean, if I had that kind of money it wouldn't last long. I'd be doing things like calling up Hostess directly and asking how much a semi full of orange cupcakes would cost. And that would be in the first hour of the first day.

No, you literally couldn't spend it. A few billion is practically impossible to spend and this is a thousand times more.

Like it really is almost impossible to *spend* that much money, on consumption for one person, within a reasonable time frame There's not enough stuff that people would be willing to sell

It's why the rules in Brewster's Millions say he can't give the money away or invest it or gamble it

Lol and Brewster's Millions is about millions, if we're talking billions I think it literally is impossible Nobody is out there selling a billion dollars' worth of anything that you can just buy right away Throwing out that much cash at once is an economic earthquake

The easiest way to "spend" that much money is to buy an enormous amount of real estate (and that's not actually spending, it's investment by Brewster's Millions rules - like you can't actually live in all of those houses at once)

Like none of this stuff billionaires are obsessed with is "consumption" by any reasonable person's standard, it's "investment", even if it's a frivolous investment in their "legacy" "I want to own a movie studio and make my dream film" "I want to own a whole town"

"I want people at Harvard to take classes in a building named after me" "I want history books to say I created the COVID-19 vaccine" Ego stuff, not id stuff
