    And these billionaires could still buy a second house in Cabo with a helipad using what is remaining

    Important to remember just how much a billion dollars is. Even a billionaire who has only $500m after giving away half would be able to buy a dozen of those properties. A multi-billionaire could potentially buy hundreds of similar properties with money left over. A billion dollars is a TREMENDOUS amount of money.

      A hundred million dollars is 10% of one billion.

      $100,000,000 is only ten percent of a billion dollars.

      I personally, am a kind of guy who likes to walk around with ten thousand dollars cold hard cash. But I always keep it in my dirty socks so they will be sure to get foot fungus when they rob me.

      And my feet get real sweaty, too.

      Haha!

      I line my socks with fake two dollar bills from the monthly potluck Alesha or whatever her name is always brings. I bring stuff sometimes, too.
