I've thought about this too. If I was super-rich, the last thing I would want to do is work and give myself more stress.
Instead, I'd buy myself some toys, a nice house or 2 maybe, but I'd invest the rest in some high-flying ideas like Space-X and Virgin Galactic, give a hundred million to the city of Flynt to fix the water problem, invest in companies that are developing technologies to clean up the oceans, etc etc.
And even if I lost most of it, so what? If I'm a 70 year old billionaire I'm still making money from interest. The losses wouldn't stress me out at all (At least I tried!), and if there were any wins, I'd be happy.
