One Billion Dollars

It is really impossible for someone to burn through even one billion dollars.

That is the equivalent of spending $25,000 per hour for ten years.

Investing that amount in T-Bills (1-2%) would guarantee you about $60-120k/day in living expenses.

What that means is that every hour you sleep, relax, shave, poop, or somehow fail to spend money, you delay running out of your $1B.
