Like at some point you have to sell right. What's the point of having so much if you can't even use it? Oh nvm billionaires exist

    If Bezos or Gates ever tries to cash out fully, it would probably break the economy

    I mean, cash out into what? That's always the real question.

    Gates and Bezos have undoubtedly diversified their portfolios beyond their primary holdings. But I bet most of that is just in government bonds, high value real estate, and other blue chip firms.

    What else are they even going to buy with that much cash? Bezos literally can't park his yacht in a normal harbor because its too damned big.

      Build mcduck money bin and go swimming in it.

      They could buy a good sized country.

          More direct power. Bezos can’t just hunt people here.

              Still restrictions.

              The more power he has, the more he obsesses over the few limits left.
