My best buddy is married to a daughter of a guy who was one of the founders of a global business that everybody would know the name of. He died around 2010(?) and was a billionaire.

Before that, my buddy told me his FIL was getting SS and of course didn't need or want it. He attempted to get the SSA to stop sending it to him but there was no mechanism in place for doing that.

So he had to take it. But he gave away $20 million (at least) a few years before he died, so it all evened out in the end. I'm sure there was much more given away that I'm not aware of.
Be nice for someone to make up for some out right crooks that stole a total near 100k bux from me some 20-22 years ago......outright thieves .....

fat chance.....
