It's a proven fact that had "it" simply invested the inheritance in broad based index funds, "it" could have lived off an average of 10 million a year after taxes, and still have 2x what was claimed. (And no, i don't believe that either.)

So, by any reckoning, this "only sees green" thing has actually resulted in a squandering of around $8 billion.

Must be red-green color blind.
