    Isn’t muskrat worth like 400bill? He could put 200,000 kids through college all 4 years at 50k/year (which many schools fall under mind you but let’s be conservative).

    He’d have 300bill left.

    Edit: lol he’s worth 486bill so he could do the above and be worth 386bill more or less assuming literally no exceptions to 50k a year. He could probably pit half million through for that with minimal effort.

      It should simply not be legal to have more money than you could possibly spend in your lifetime.

      Is my math wrong? I don’t see how, in your scenario, it would cost him 100 billion. It wouldn’t even cost him 1 billion. 200k (students) x $50k/year x 4 years = $40 million.

      Edit: Ok yeah my math is wrong but still not that wrong. It’s $40 billion. (That’s what I get trying to do the Calc in my head). Still not $100 billion though. He could put 500k kids through school in your scenario for it to cost him 100 billion.

        That’s what I got, too. The person you’re responding to seems to have mixed up orders of magnitude. Like I get it, 400m is still unfathomably wealthy, but he has a thousand times that.
