Perspective on their fortune
Gold
Everyday luxury
A Eduardo Saverin's fortune is equivalent to 228 of gold, but this may be difficult to value, as we don't usually have a handful of gold bars in our piggy bank.
A standard gold ring typically weighs between 4 and 7 grams. Let's say this one weighs 5 grams. It's usually 18k gold.
Based on today's gold price (not taking into account the jeweler's fee, shipping, or anything else), that gold ring would be worth $556.3
Eduardo Saverin could buy 60,815,797 gold rings. That's a lot of fingers and a lot of gifts!!
And if the number of rings is difficult to visualize, all these rings would need 11 trucks to transport them, But we can be almost certain that Eduardo Saverin will have enough left over to pay for the gas for those trucks.
Health
The price of life

Research
The monopoly of progress
Lowest research spending
