    Money isn't everything. Jeff isn't going to live forever (well, probably not). You only have one life in which to experience what you want to experience. In any case, I'm sure he will survive on $75 billion.

    London post-brexit as a financial center

    2017 article...but relevant. UK will have no part in it. If they try invading the UK one day, I guess we will be able to speak with them: "The German-speaking Dutch Col. Leuvering reports that the binational Oldenburg division is moving toward using English."
