I think most human beings would do most things for $43,000,000,000. Whether they morally ought to or not is beside the point: almost anyone would do almost anything for 43 billion dollars.
- theplague42 6y agoWhen you already have another 145 billion? More than you could possibly spend in your lifetime?
- zeveb 6y ago> When you already have another 145 billion? More than you could possibly spend in your lifetime? Allstate's market cap is currently $30 billion. Maybe Mr. Bezos would want to buy it, and still have the rest of the money he currently has. Maybe he wants to do something else with that money. Regardless, the fact that you or I might not be able to imagine spending that much money has no bearing on whether or not he could. To be honest, I bet you & I could figure out how to spend that much, too.
- jtsiskin 6y agoThe marginal value of that money, in terms of lifestyle changes, when you already have $145B is much less than $43 billion. Probably closer to 0.
