This is a well researched and written article.  Good job AI

Agreed. Probably some charity contributions, some diversification (eminently sensible), perhaps buying a major asset.

He seems, overall, like a rather simple, frugal, non-flashy person whose life revolves around making Apple continuously better and leaving behind a better world (as he defines it).

Nobody deserves that much money especially as America will see millions of people be evicted this fall / winter. Tax laws only favor the richest which Tim Cook is one of. Don't  gloat oner his wealth, nobody is so gifted to have a personal wealth that far about the average person. Tim runs the biggest company in the world and soon the biggest monopoly. Apple's products are lame these past few years because the no longer need to push themselves. Apple is expanding into other fields which it will buy technologies and smaller companies to get a jumpstart of dominating those. Look at history if you doubt me.

I know the meteoric growth days are over, but I’ll definitely be grabbing a fistful after the split.

After the split it’ll be worth 1/4 of the value per share. You’re not actually getting more stock for the same amount of money.

I know the mechanics of everything, but a $1 move will be worth $4 pre-split, or $28 pre-pre-split.  Since the two rules of wall street are fear and greed, human psychology needs to be looked at when pricing stocks.  When I got in at ~250 (pre 7:1) split, each dollar move was worth approximately $100 of value.  Post DRIP and splits, they're worth about $600, and next Monday, they'll be worth about $2500.

When it's reported on Wall St. it's just a $1 move, nothing to notice...  but I'm $2500 richer or poorer for it.

To ignore the psychology of pricing is, imho, missing out on the joys of splits.

Now, if we want to get me depressed, let's talk about my "wise" investments in Frontier Communications and Real Goods Solar at $5.  There, I really did lose $2500, and it ain't coming back.  But then again, a good day where AAPL goes up $1/share post spilt puts salve on that wound.

Don’t even get me started on who has lost more money in the stock market. LOL!
