### You mean, I would have more money (inflation-adjusted, I assume?)
than was made in the whole history of the Earth, maybe even in the
whole galaxy?! That's a no-brainer!

I would be genuinely baffled by anybody who would refuse his e^D
dollars only so that Mr Gates doesn't get e^(D+10e10) dollars. This
would be painfully stupid, not to mention criminally destructive.

Lee, just tell me who to call to get in this get-everybody-rich-quick
scheme and I'll handle the negotiations.
