People are giving advises all over the web, as if, getting to a point where you have $7B to spend is not a result of a series of wise decisions and solid strategy.

Did you ever have 1% of that money, or .1% of that money? Everyone has the right to have an opinion, but please, assume "they" know facts and figures you don't.
