This is not non-reported investments (overseas, partnerships, family members). This probably doesn't include stock options, special plans for re-investment credits. Only their hairdressers will know for sure.

Let's take a look at this from a input/output basis:

- Mortgages on 3 houses in very desirable locations - maybe $0 since magically they are already paid for. But also, maybe $500,000 per year.

- Upkeep on these 3 houses and 5+ luxury automobiles and staff: $800,000-2,000,000 per year.

- Upkeep for the children, the b@st@rds of dalliances, the multiple wives (current and ex): $500,000-4,000,000.

- Yacht(s): $400,000 per year (assuming already paid for.)

- Little ancillary expenses like food, booze, clothing, payoffs: $1,000,000-$2,000,00 per year.
