You'd have to figure out a way to spend nearly half a million dollars a day to get it done. Assuming you sleep 8 hours, that's $30,000 an hour every day for 100 years.

That's an amount of money a vast majority of us can't even imagine, but it's fun trying. And congratulations to those very successful New Jersey billionaires.
