They bank it as any insurance company should do. Invest it cautiously. Hire sound decent people to run it with solid levels of accountability (including from a board of directors that is mostly made up of a rotating number of clients). Do it from the beginning of the company. Grow your staff slowly. Build enough of a cushion that can last the company years. Right? Right?

I'd run that company well for $250k/annually + benefits (an enormous amount of money).

I hope they aren't investing that capital. AFAIK, insurance capital needs to be liquid, for it to be ready for a payout.

You still didn't address my point is that $25m/yr is a drop in the ocean. "investing $25m properly" will have zero impact on the business.
