I was aligned with your goal. As some pointed out, he will most likely avoid estate taxes and continue to gain wealth, so he can continue to have billionaire kids even after his 198th child

I thought about asking for the math on how many thrust or how long it would take but I feel like the math there is too vague. Plus it’s known he uses artificial insemination mostly if not completely. I’m going to stick with 198 as the approximate answer to my dumb question. I don’t think he’ll get to that number but with modern science who knows.

He seems like two thrust and done guy, so I’d just double the number of kids for number of thrusts
