I think they meant $60m is "nothing" for that crowd due to the insane expenses involved in living like that.

Sure. But that’s an absurd response to the assertion that it’s “enough for any reasonable person for several lifetimes”. Sure, you could potentially burn $60 million on private jet service and an army of personal waitstaff. For that matter you could also literally burn $60 million cash in a fire. But most probably wouldn’t consider these “reasonable” behaviors.

The response assumed that he was NOT a "reasonable person" and wanted to move to the billionaire status. Almost did it, atually

I mean he was rubbing shoulders with SV giants worth tens of billions at the time. He probably felt like he could do better than paltry hundreds of millions.
