He’s never not going to be unimaginably rich, no matter what he does. Even with “just” $1B, you can spend almost $55k/day for 50 years… it’d get boring after a couple of years, but I wouldn’t be against trying it. With his net worth right now, he could do Brewster’s Millions until he’s 720 years old, but he’d probably run out of stamps to buy after a while.
