>> Honest question: besides charity, how can you possibly spend your wealth after it creeps past the billion or ten billion mark? Buy an archipelago?
Buy influence, then use that influence to drive policy changes. Unfortunately it is not always used the way we want, some examples are the Koch brothers and Robert Mercer
Theoretically you can use this influence to drive better climate policy, better civil rights, better social justice

Robert Mercer is not a billionaire btw. Ironically Jim Simons (his ex partner) has donated a lot of money to the democratic party/causes. Does that balance it out?
