The Big Boys, (capitalists), measure their power in accumulated wealth, so most of the money likely has been retained to buttress that power, and to provide "fuck you" money. I would guess that about 10-20% has been spent on political contributions to insure that the game continues and that about 5% has been spent on "charity" to provide PR cover.
