10 trillion of _anything_ is more than we have evolved to be able to process.
It is simply orders of magnitude beyond my comprehension, a class beyond "woo, that's alot of money."
So if I had somehow gotten ahold of this much money, I'm fairly sure I could not properly administer even a tenth of a tenth of percent of the interest. The vast remainder would have absolutely no value for me. I'm simply not smart enough to extract value from it.
So. The only rational act would be for me to skim the tiniest portion of it useful to me, then construct a giant swimming pool in which to dive into the remainder at my leisure.
