If you go to Amazon to buy a gift card for a friend or family member, you'll notice that they allow you to pick the value and give you a range from 15 cents to 2,000 dollars. Now, I'm guessing that this is supposed to be an extreme outlier that is never meant to be hit because, let's face it, it's not exactly feasible for most people. Granted, there was a time where the cards maxed out at $5,000, but they lowered it.
Still, could you imagine getting a $2,000 gift card from Amazon? The resulting spree would be the stuff of legend. Whether it's books, movies, graphic novels, RPG's, or video games, you could expand your hobby by a significant margin.
Seriously, the things I could do with that much. Now, my own list has swollen to the point where it wouldn't be enough to clear the list out completely, but it would put a sizable dent in the thing, not to mention allowing me to knock some of the higher end items off. I would also try to go around to other wish lists of people I know and give them a few things because, why not?
Heck, you could stock your pantry. Sure, food on Amazon tends to be overpriced (odd considering the whole point is to pay less) and depending on what you buy, the shipping costs can be outrageous, but with $2,000 to throw around, who cares?
Granted, it would never happen, but it would be amazing if some billionaire industrialist just went up to you, handed you a fully loaded gift card and said, "here have this, it's like spare change to me". If only, right? In the meantime, I guess we can only dream.
