What's he using to buy all his boy's toys, like yachts and plans and sports cars? Or is that just a meaningless percentage of his wealth?

The man has a net worth of $41B. 5% of his wealth is still $2B.

I don't know about you, but I don't begrudge a man worth $41B who plans to give away nearly all his wealth, a yacht or two.

He said "95%". 5% of Ellison's wealth is 2 billion. His yacht was in the $200m range.

Who cares if he spends his money on that?
