Let's say that you are Bill Gates and you are worth about 40billion bucks...then let's say that you convert all that money into cash and put it in a money market account that makes a meek 3% interest...
Now let's say that you are 40 years old and will live to be 80 years old...and you are a mean bastard and don't want a single penny left when you die...
you would need to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.951219512 billion dollars a year...that works out to roughly 5.34 million dollars a day...that's a lot of dough...
I made a mistake with the math...those numbes would be if you lived to be 81...

That is amazing. Now you see why people who are truly wealthy don't really spend it: no point. After the first few million the point seems to be power.
