    I’d be willing to linearly downscale.

    I am sure that for me 3 Million is more than i could ever reasonably spend for the rest of my life.

    So with 8760 hours in a year, that would be like 53 Minutes. You know what, make it a full hour.

      This comment exposes how wrong it actually is, that we allow individuals to become billionaires…

      Came here to say that. 30 billion is a stupid amount of money. If down scaling is an option, anyone who considers doing it for a year (for personally owning all the money) is mentally ill.

        Why?

        Shouldn’t everyone feel morally responsible for receiving the maximum reward so that they can personally distribute those funds amongst as many people as possible? The other guy is fine with just 3m, so one year of your life apparently could provide 9999 other people with a life of never having to work again.

      Fair. Though I think if I had 30 billion I’d start build better housing in 3rd world countries or something like that

      Yeah I wouldn’t know what to do with 30 billion. Pay off the mortgage, couple of new cars, irrigate the world’s deserts?
