    Or donate it for good causes. Honestly spending a billion dollars (let alone 7) is really hard, if you’re not buying companies or land. It’s just that an obscene amount of money.

      Exactly. Spending a million every quarter on your local charities/funding public improvement projects/cleaning up public areas/providing public transport funds would do wonders for improving crime rates and improving quality of life around you.

      Now repeat for 100x cities. A 7 billionaire can absolutely throw away ~500 million dollars a quarter, live extremely well off 10 million, and pay a guy to invest the rest so you can continue philanthropy.
