I was involved in (though not responsible for, per se - my part was producing the backup reporting for it) the process of wiring two billion dollars in a single day.
Yes, that’s a ‘b’, as in ‘2’ followed by 9 zeroes.
Very soon I’ll be responsible for taking care of about 500k for my mother.
Perhaps not in the same league with some of the numbers mentioned above but it is her entire worth and she needs the income to be able to afford to live.
It’s way, way scarier than taking care of about the same amount of money of my own.
You are so evil - and hopefully you would have had some electric paddles to restart my heart when I saw the check missing. Seriously, I still get a small nervous tic in my left eyelid when I think of how close I came to royally screwing up!
A good friend of mine is personally responsible for $4.5 Billion of other people’s money. There’s oversight and what-not, but that’s the chunk that’s his to deal with.
