Anyway, how much does one need?

From 365 million, i would make sure to keep 65 million or so. Money that i would never touch (or something like that)

Lots of people would suddenly have some extra money in their bankaccount; some would be rich, some would have a very very nice bonus.

what would you do with 365 million??
