The wife and I had a conversation about multi-billionaires the other night. While we're both free enterprise capitalists, we wondered what do these billionaires do with that money? We figured if we were to have 50 million accessible dollars, we could live a luxurious life and be able to charter a private jet and avoid airport hassles, not to mention various get-away properties. We just couldn't comprehend having a billion or more and not give much of it away to legitimate charities/causes.
We would research who gets the most bang for our bucks, and directly wire the funds under contract that the recipients use them for the cause, with little to no commission fees - salaries would be acceptable. There would be a stipulation if not used as we directed, no more funds forthcoming. I personally would read the P&L.
Other than some immediate relief, all our designated causes would go to building opportunity, sustainable growth, and self reliant motivation. "Give a man a fish, he eats that day. Teach a man to fish, he eats every day".
I payed 20k for my “vacation cabin” on 6 acres.
(outhouse and no running water)
Until recent years it was one of my favorite places to stay..but the area is starting to get developed and it’s not quite as nice anymore.
Probably sell it in the next several years for 80k and look for another diamond in the rough.

There is a bigger house next door.... really. He bought a small home in that neighborhood.
