Baldo Besos was the recipient of what could be the most expensive shakedown ever, when his golddigger took him to divorce-rape court. Even so, it's doubtful he even noticed the few billions missing. Same with this fiasco. Thanks to the legion of loyal Amazon customers, this billion will soon be replaced. Besos and Gates are the posterboys for why I advocate for a wealth cap of 500 million dollars....at best billionaires serve no useful or needed function in society....at worst they use that excess wealth to screw over everyone else.
I actually did a calculation once, and found that for all reasonable purchases while living a life of absolute luxury you'd be hard pressed to spend more than 50 million in your lifetime. The includes living in an estate and even owning castle, first class flights everywhere, staying in the most expensive suites, purchasing more than a couple exotic cars, etc. Of course, you can't buy entire cities, but for just living a life of opulence, 50 million (at least for me) was more than enough.
