    He’s still worth $200B.

    Spending $44B? $88B? $100B. Doesn’t matter. The dude never, ever has to think about money again. If he lives to 85 and doesn’t earn another cent between now and then, he can splash 6 billion dollars a year every year until he dies.

    To give you some understanding of that kind of money, he could roughly buy two Lamborghini Diablos every single day for the rest of his life.
