That’s exactly the point. The idea that $100 is an amount of money that would give most people some pause before they spend it, but it’s not an unmanageable amount of money.

So, how about we’re try counting to 30 billion by hundreds. Even then, it’s a ridiculous task. If you decided to purchase every single thing (that exists) that you’ve ever wanted, you’d go insane just trying to figure out why anyone would ever need that much money.

Then again, you could not spend it on yourself… then, it becomes super-easy to spend billions of dollars! You could lift entire starving populations into solvency. So, why is no one doing that? Cuz the coolest thing to do with billions of dollars is to build more portfolios and buy politicians.

Let’s think about this another way: I don’t know how much it costs to hire a hitman, but I feel like $10,000 is a pretty common amount to read in articles about successful hits (followed by arrests). So, assuming $10k is a reasonable price for a hit, $30B is enough to put out hits on almost every single person in USA. People like Musk could afford to hire hitmen to wipe out populations across entire countries, and I’m sure he’s thought about that plenty of times. It’s no wonder he can build self-crashing cars with no remorse. Dude can literally get away with murder, and then afford to murder anyone who tries to arrest or prosecute him.

I’d rather go insane trying to count to 30 billion than to suffer from whatever brain-rot is going on in the minds of existing billionaires.
