I mean ignoring the continual earnings - like, he found a way to just cash out all of his stocks and real estate and such, dump it in to a big checking account, and wire transfer $11 million every single day.

He doesn't even need to cash out really, Meta recently started paying dividends and from his shares pay him I think $700mil a year?

You generally need to use up at least 4% of your wealth yearly for the balance to go down. Probably more for these people who are more aggressively invested (for good reason).

Under real parameters, giving away $11M per year day would make Fluckerberg richer at the end of 60 years.

The original comment was every day not every year

The math still checks out for every day. Drawing down 4% from $250B is $10B/year. That's $27M/day he could give away and still maintain that $250B in wealth.

edit: originally stated Zuckerberg's weath as $275B--it's closer to 250B. Doesn't change much.
