      Power has to be the only driver for someone who already has hundreds of billions of dollars. If I had just one billion you’d never hear from me again, ever. Literally on an island or traveling the world. Bye, Felecia!

        People really, really don’t understand just how much 1 billion dollars is. Like we are hearing about Elon Musk’s net worth crashing as if he will somehow be homeless or lose everything. He won’t.

        If you had a billion dollars, and you gave away 95% of it, you will still have 50 million dollars to your name, which is still more than you can possibly spend (unless you live like some ultra millionaire lifestyle and throw parties that cost a million bucks each and have a giant mansion with insane upkeep).
