    10 million a year for 100 years is probably a better way for people to understand that kind of wealth. Because even 1000 years is almost too long for our brains to comprehend.

      To each their own. I can’t imagine what I would do with anything more than a million dollars a year. 1,000 years ago America had just barely been discovered by Erik the Red, so fast forward 1,000 years where we’ve cured all cancer, no one burns gas anymore, we’ve colonized two other planets, and made contact with three alien species. My $1 billion hoard (inflation adjusted) just ran out.
