But does he get to keep the INTEREST ?? Even .00000001% is gonna be money
Yeah, I'd take a reasonable current interest rate on that. You'd only need an hour's worth of interest to come out like a bandit. Heck, a minute would probably be pretty good.
Of course the money didn't actually make it all the way into his account.
Every time I see quarterly earnings reports for companies like Apple or Exxon, I think of how nice it would be to have a day's or even hour's worth of interest on multiple billions.

There was a while in about 1998 where Bill Gates was making $37,000 a minute. He made more in the time it took to crap and wipe than most of us made in a year.
