Neo's right.

For anyone interested in the math but too lazy to do it themselves:

1,000,000,000 dollars / 100,000 dollars per week = 10,000 weeks = 191.8 years

Sounds solid, however it's unlikely to live over a century so that's at least ninety years of money--and practically half--unused. Why stop here?

1,000,000,000 dollars / 200,000 dollars per week = 5,000 weeks = 95.9 years

Sounds better, but we can go deeper. According to Google, the average life expectancy in the United States is 78.74.

1,000,000,000 dollars / 243,000 dollars per week = 4,115.23 weeks = 78.92 years

Slightly overcompensating for the average life expectancy, but this is improvement. $243,000 a week is pretty great, and that's not even counting how many years you've actually lived. Say you're about twenty years old, you can spend...

78.92 years - 20 years = 58.92 years

1,000,000,000 dollars / 325,000 dollars per week = 3,076.92 weeks = 59 years

So now you can spend $325,000, nearly a third of a million dollars, a week for almost six decades. That's a pretty comfortable life right there.
