At least, who among us?

Honestly, I wouldn't even want anything like that kind of money, except for the opportunity to give it to places it will do the most good. Once it was gone - at least, down to a "reasonable" personal fortune level (say, $10M for the sake of argument - no sense in not living at least comfortably if you were once a multi-billionaire), I hope I would be able to sit back and be pleased with a job well done.

Dreams. *sigh*
