Billionaire's Life

What will you do if your net worth is $ 40 billion ($ 4,000,000,000 where if you distribute this amount evenly, you could create 4,000 millionaire at glance)?

Some might think of:
1) A beach front resort
2) Private jet
3) Few luxurious cars such as Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes Benz...etc.
4) A private island. A man-made island in The World, Dubai is on sale which the price tag starts from $ 6.85 million. With $ 40 billion on hand, such amount is just a peanut for you.
5) Invest in a row of commercial shotlots in Fifth Avenue in New York,Champs-Élysées in Paris, Piccadilly in London...etc.
6) Retire from the current job.

Sound reasonable. After all, this is a life as a billionaire. But, one of the billionaire does not have such life. He neither invest in a row of commercial shotlots to receive rental nor own a dream car like Ferrari. What he drives is a Lincoln TownCar where its plate is printed with a word "THRIFTY"

That would be me. I read too many stories about guys and gals who win millions of dollars, blow it on houses and cars, and end up bankrupt. If I won a billion, I would drive around in a Kia, and live in a two-bedroom apartment. I would save one bedroom for piles of money that I would swim around in like Scrooge McDuck.
