That's kinda spare change to him though.
Even if they lost that much money every month, or $900M a year... and this somehow went on for 250 years a(nd we ignore the speculative markets for a sec), they'd still have 14 billions and would still be in the top 150 fortunes.
That's just to show how utterly fucking insane is the sheer amount of wealth one can hoard.
It's such a ridiculous amount of money that it's hard to comprehend.
- Funny, he’s not acting like it’s spare change. He’s in meltdown litigation mode over it.
  
  Yea I merely meant to illustrate how fucking bananas that amount of wealth is.
  Sure, it's more complicated than my comment let's on.
  Most of that wealth is from the speculated value of stocks which can go tits up when investors lose confidence.
  He's also petty, narcissistic and vindictive, so here we are.
  I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to buy one of those companies just to shut them up/down.
  
  ok, that’s reasonable.
  
  Because manchildren do what manchildren do
