I saw this online and it didn’t get any traction on any of the other fan web sites so I’ll throw it out there.

Bloomberg.com posted an article on 1 April 2019 titled:

Lego Heirs' $16 Billion Fund Is Bracing for a Bleaker Future

While it is not about building, giving, or LEGO fandom, it does say how much money LEGO has brought its owners through the years.

And apparently if you have a lot of money, you invest in solar energy and wind farms. Or maybe you profit from selling a brick version and invest those profits into a real one?
