But your assumption is they have infinite space for ammo and the guns don't jam. It's not like they can run them 24/7 with zero maintenance and its not like they will have a staff. If they are at the point of bunker time money is worthless. I remember reading about how there is a lot of talk in ultra wealth spaces about how do. Stop your security force from just taking your bunker. No one has a good answer for that problem and it puts a smile on my face knowing that will be their fate.

Of course there will be staff. He's not going to clean his own toilets.

50 million 50 caliber bullets assuming 2x overhead for packing occupies a cube 6 meters on each side.

And automatic turrets don't shoot wildly like humans. It's 1 bullet, 1 headshot. Even YouTubers can do it with a $5 microcontroller and nerf gun.

Yeah but staff requires payment and if society collapses. That means money is worthless so it falls back to biggest person with the biggest weapon gets your stuff. So his head of Security now runs the place.

If it were that easy, his head of security would have already killed him and disappeared with $100m.

You do it like all dictators have done throughout history. You have several security guards each watching the other. It requires all security in agreement to overthrow the dictator like the Praetorian guard in ancient Rome.
