By no means is having 106 children normal or sane. But now I have a legit answer when someone says, “Why would anyone need $1 Billion.” I can now say, “So each of my 100 kids can get $10Million in inheritance money.”

10mil is still “set for life” territory just with an added debuff of, “If managed and invested carefully”

Geneticists in a thousand years are going to have questions about a sudden boom in certain gene markers around this time if they don't have the added context of billionaires deciding they're the master race by virtue of being billionaires.

Actually works out to 160m per kid. So if they make meh investments like putting it all in U.S. bonds, they can get about 7 million in interest to live off of every year.
