There’s no number that is “enough”.

A quadrillion dollars per minute ought to be enough for anybody.

See that means I would instantly retire, so I wouldn't be working.

You would work until you got your first paycheck. If it were a job that paid you under the table you could theoretically work a single shift. Best job ever.

Putting that much money into circulation would cause hyperinflation and then a gallon of milk would cost 10 quintillion dollars and you're back to square one.

>Putting that much money into circulation would cause hyperinflation

so dont circulate it.

Right... if one person owns a quadrillion dollars but doesn't spend it there is no inflation. They'd just spend a billion here... a billion there... buying up all those midsized businesses or swathes of land.
