Amazing, isn't it? Not the money, but the plans people come up with in order to use it, just because they want to and they can. People like Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, who's deciding to make Dubai the new hub of world aviation.
Of course, if I were one of the royal family of a very little country and had $82 billion sitting in my pocket, I'd probably do something to make my family and country extremely important and famous, too.

Someone should really figure up how much chocolate that would buy...
Yes!
Well, if you use it to buy the cheapest 70% Lindt bars at around $1.75 (including tax) per 3.5-oz bar, it comes out to 46 billion bars, or 161 billion ounces. Divide those 161 billion ounces by 80 years and you get 2.0125 billion ounces per year, or 5,513,600 million ounces per day - around 5.5 million. So, if everyone gets a comfortable daily ration of 5.5 ounces per day, that provides a lifetime supply of chocolate for 1 million people!
