    At some point of extreme wealth, you get declared a dragon and it should be perfectly fine to organize adventuring parties to attempt to slay you.

      I saw a comment a while ago where someone calculated the equivalent wealth of fictional dragons (e.g. by estimating the dimensions of Smaug’s vast gold trove in The Hobbit) and determined that real billionaires are far worse hoarders of money. Like 1000x worse.

      I should try to find that comment again.
