He will horde most of it. Occasionally he will spend on lobbying efforts, purchase insane luxury items (ie yachts), or vanity projects. Sometimes, he will splurge on a business that employee a few people. When he is feeling particularly generous, he may contribute to some project that makes home look good while putting his name on something (ie new opera house).

To the yacht builders of course. There happens to be only a few of those however.

I think if that money were to be spent by 10,000 people buying everyday groceries, cars, clothing the economic benefit would be far greater.
