Hillary and Bill earned every penny they have.

51. I am deep in reading economic policy right now

and the undertow is even in government documents.

Inequality is a serious problem.

As to how much you keep, assuming you win that much. My advise is.

1.- Talk to a money manager, and keep five million. I know, I know, it is not greed, it is a cushion against sudden inflation. But it would be nice to be able to NOT care about money, and wonder where money is coming for the electric bill.

2.- My personal things to do, would be to pay my sister's home off, pay for college for all my nieces and nephews, and get each of them a trust, so they can start life a tad better, with a little more security. That would consume, given the age of the kids, about a million, perhaps a little more. The rest, well endowments are good, not just for arts but for basic research. There are direct donations to local non profits, and all that. It would take me a few years to find those though.

And on my personal wish things... that I would be able to afford, a full format camera, two bodies actually, and top level glass, including a 600 or 800 mm piece for wildfires (The 800 mm is close to 20K buckaroos) and video camera, so we can cover local politics even better. But if you have that much in the bank growing, 20K are not an issue at that point. Right now, even getting a second body is.
