His money is basically incomprehensible to how we regularly think. If he hired a law firm to work on each case 24/7 for the entire year at $5000/hr, and then even if each inheritance case took 20 years and he had 50 children suing him simultaneously it'd cost him billions--but he'd still have hundreds of billions left. Fuck billionaires
I think net worth is pretty different of what real assets he may have which is what his descendants would inherit theoretically. But still ot eill be a truckload.
Wait so
24*7*365*5000*20*50is less then what this man owns??= $306.600.000.000
Damn.
edit: the * mssed with the formatting, by the way crazy fact, the lawfirm in this case would bill 1.226.400 hours per case/child.
Even smaller, 24x365, drop the 7 in your equation since that just tells us to bill all 365 days of the year
A lol, thank you, IANA mathematician obviously. Well to keep the math correct, we could say the lawfirm had 7 people work the case 24hrs 365 days a year.
But damn that man is rich
The 7 people is already implied by 5000$/hour to a firm. It's possible, but no single lawyer charges 5000$/hour.
