Has a billionaire ever lost all their money? Outside of criminal cases. Seems impossible.

There was a browser game some had developed where you had to spend all your money. It was similar to cookie clicker.

The point of the game was that once you have a billion dollars, you have so much money that you literally could not spend that much money.

I could easily spend a billion dollars but most of it would be doing Mr Beast type shit like building houses and wells and hospitals or paying for people's medical procedures.

You have to be pretty heartless to have that much money and keep it all to yourself

I couldn't not do that as well, which implies that to get that stinking rich and stay that way you must be some degree of sociopath
