Interesting, the page info is out of date (if it was ever a real thing) from their "how much do we own" How much do "we" own Google Google Shares owned by GWEI: 819 Amount of USD: 405.413,19 Adsense-Clicks: 1.556.361 Adsense-Page Impressions: 37.538 Adsense-CTR: 2,41% Google Ownership Counter 202.345.117 Years until GWEI fully owns Google. Google Share Price* Current Google Share Price : 495.01 USD Symbol: "GOOG" Current price is over $1,400 so either they have over a million dollars of Google stock or this experiment has stopped? There is an interesting question here of how much money is someone willing to let "sit there" which is growing slowly vs taking it and doing something with it.

I think even more, since there was a stock split since then (share price is dated at 2005).

  Wow, that would be over 2.5M$ so yeah. Interesting question indeed.

This question comes up a lot when people find Bitcoin wallets that haven’t been touched in nearly a decade and have millions of dollars worth of the token associated to them. Is someone just being incredibly patient?

    I lost a Bitcoin wallet with ~50BTC back when it was priced at pennies. I was so young then. Oh well.

Some people will save and invest for 40 years until they retire.

  Yes, but in my experience its a spectrum. From 'always save' to 'always spend.' One of the more interesting times of my life so far was during the dot com bubble because I got to see a lot of people suddenly feel like they had more money than they ever imagined they would. I observed that the response was always uniquely personal. From a friend who bought 737 jet, only to file bankruptcy a year later, to folks who converted things to bonds and other assets and otherwise didn't change all that much, to people who lived a life of inconvenience only to have their family inherit a huge chunk of wealth when they died. I suspect that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to predict how someone would actually respond.
