When no-one was looking, Elon Musk lost forty billion. He lost 40 billion. That's as many as four tens billions. And that's terrible.

40,000 millions. Most people could live without working ever again with one million dollars (provided they managed them wisely.)

Last time I looked into it, it was closer to 4 million to "never work again" if you were in your mid-30s. Nowadays, even that figure is probably not enough. Your point still stands, however.

Let's run an experiment. Someone give me 1 million dollars, post-taxes, and I'll try my best to never work again. Any takers?
