If you could meet all your needs and wants with treasuries, why would you risk capital?

People lose it all. Huge lottery winnings or the sale of a high tech company. If you had 10,000,000 (or a 100,000,000 for that matter) and could earn 350k a year with 30 yr treasuries, or own all of a neighborhood, a large apartment or what have you, would you risk it all? Some of it?

I think I could budget and be happy with 10m and 350.
