I'm assuming he could still be accruing wealth if he did that.

Assuming he made at least 5% or so per year on investment income, that would be 2 billion, and if you assume a 20% tax rate on that, it would be 1.6 billion, still more than 365 million it would take to give away one million every day.

And so if he could live on less than ~1.2 billion per year, he'd still be gaining wealth...
