If we see a street lady collecting a hundred cats to horde, we call her crazy.
When we see someone hording so much wealth that they could never reasonably ever spend all that money in a lifetime … we put them on the cover of a magazine.
spend all that money in a lifetime
In hundreds of thousands of lifetimes. 1,000,000 per year is a stupid amount of money to live on. If you “only” spent $1,000,000 a year you could live on 250billion for 250,000 years. That isn’t including any interest accrued.
The difference between a million and a billion dollars is approximately 1 billion dollars
A million heartbeats is 10 days. A billion is 27 years
That’s fine change a lot from person to person
Maybe billionaires just have faster heart rates

it may be more than someone can reasonably spend, but someone can unreasonably spend it with some effort
