What do ridiculously rich people (like Bill Gates etc.) ask for/get for Christmas/birthdays/etc.?

I know money can't buy happiness blahblahblah.

Do they do gift exchanges at all?

Do they ask for anything?

They have enough money that they could get anything made or done for them at a moment's notice. Like having ChatGPT, but for services. Ridiculous things we couldn't imagine.

Anyone have any insight into general trends along those lines?

Bill Gates, in an interview asking about gift ideas, said "books" so i'm assuming they want regular shit like anyone else

Yeah, not all gifts are special because of monetary value. A thoughtful gift beats out an expensive gift at any income bracket.

It's probably also about things that he's just not aware of. While he can buy anything, knowing about everything is impossible.
