There once lived a rich man. He was the richest of them all. One day, he said, "I can't put my cattle in any of my barns. They are too full!" So he decided to take 3 barns down and build a larger one. So he did. He thought he was the coolest and smartest in the land, so he decided to buy 2 more houses, 6 more barns, 4 horses, 3 pigs, and 20 more sheep. When he did, he slept. Next morning, he was shocked. "There's no money left!" he exclaimed. That night, all of his animals ate the food he had, and the rich moron died that night.

This parable sort of goes with my wise saying:
"Friends are like gifts, so be grateful for what you have."

Very true. But if he was super rich like Bill Gates and had $80 billion I doubt he would've used all of that money on what you specified ;) It's not $10 billion per sheep.

Bill Gates does not have 80$ Billion.

He has $79,300,000. Only $700 million away from $80 billion. Not a big difference...
