We each have a character with more than half a million septim, (on XBox). Dad has one with over 2 million. We do not ever take any perks in Speech not have we used glitches. Just as in real life, the secret to great wealth is drugs, (alchemy). (Just ask Big Pharmaca). Our real problem is selling even a fraction of our loot.

As for having nothing to spend it on, we agree. You can't even buy a politician (or a title). ;-P
