  Yeah but now he’s worth 35 billion. He could set a million dollars on fire everyday for the next 50 years and still have another million to spend that day. Life doesn’t get much more meaningful than that. /s

    Just wanna point out that net worth doesn’t equal money in the bank. If he tried to convert his worth (probably NVIDIA stocks) to money it would be very hard and only a percentage of the initial worth (because of shares dumping).

      a) there have been liquidation services as long as there have been stocks, yes you have to be patient to get the money but you can get it

      b) just borrow against it and you essentially have infinite money

      c) you can probably get anything for free at that level anyway
