You could have said the same thing when he was worth $50 million instead of a billionaire. For people like that, the mindset is endless growth at all costs...that's why they still turn up to work despite having money to live like kings for multiple lifetimes.

$50 million is enough for you and maybe a few descendants to live comfortably for the rest of your lives, but certainly not an amount of money where you'll be able to do anything you want for perpetuity.

You probably won't even be able to buy a superyacht comfortably, and a megayacht is absolutely out of your reach. For that you need to be a billionaire
