Turns out you can't project human values into a single (monetary) dimension...

Similarly, my estimate of the value of my life (infinite) differs from how society would broadly estimate it actuarily.

Such is the nature of things.

Nature of things is always changing. Once upon a time the King or Land Lord or Factory owner handed off all the shares to the eldest son. Doesn't happen anymore.

Also remember Bezos and Gates had to hand over a chunk of their wealth on divorce. That didn't happen without the nature of things changing.
