There's more to worry about than getting bored when you're winning hundreds of millions. Just read about Whitaker on that thread.

I know all about Whitaker since my dad was a WVian. The trick, he told me, was to move to where that level of wealth isn't noticed. Whitaker's problem was that he stayed in WV. As my dad said, "Giving a WVian a hundred million dollars is like giving a monkey a shotgun; if he don't kill himself, he gonna kill someone."

Where can you move to where hundreds of millions isn't noticeable? That would actually be liveable lol, I at least would rather a monkey shoot me with a shotgun that live in places like LA or NYC
