His son is 22. Life expectancy right now is about 93 I think, so he has 71 years of life left. Ignoring interest, he could spend $1,000,000 a day every day for the rest of his life.

Yeah, he could spend an awful lot of money. Must be nice!

Christ, I had to actually sit here for a moment and imagine how I could even possibly manage to spend $1M a day. I can only think of two things: 1) hiring people to work on things I know are unprofitable but want done, and 2) giving it away.
