In clash royale, you can’t have more than $5,000,000 and causes no issues because nothing costs enough that couldn’t be recuperated quickly. I’m not saying we should do this, but we should do something. It’s time for a new type of economy.

MacKenzie Scott started with something like $36B. Over the past seven years or so she's donated $26B. She still has $33B.
