You can't be a billionaire and live in some million dollar house in an ungated community. Even if you tell people you gave it away, they won't believe you. So you've got to have enough money to buy an actual estate with security, and keep enough money to pay the taxes and upkeep for the rest of your life. I was looking at a 10 million dollar estate yesterday and it was estimated to need $43,000 a month just to keep it running. What does that even mean, people are going to come after you hard?
