Lion's share

Privately though, I think Buffett means it. However, all things considered and generally speaking, I still think the wealthiest humans are the greediest of all species.

Don’t you agree?

Alright, here are a few media examples of “a lion’s share”:

1. The lion’s share of the assets of the late Prince Rainier of Monaco is to be divided between crown prince Albert and Rainier's oldest daughter Caroline, sources said on Wednesday.

Though considered a state secret, Rainier’s wealth is estimated by various sources to be worth as much as $2.5bn, consisting of mainly of real estate.

According to US biographer J Randy Taraborrelli, Rainier’s will as of the year 2000 grants the 47-year-old Prince Albert the title of “His Most Serene Highest” as well as the royal palace with 235 rooms, the castle of Marchais near Paris with extensive hunting grounds, private jet, yacht, collection of antiquities including 180 vehicles and a stamp collection considered one of the most valuable in the world.
