At least in D&D no dragon hoards that much, and the chromatic dragons have a legitimate reason for it.
The wealthiest dragon you’ll encounter in any fantasy setting, we aren’t talking about Shadowrun or Cyberpunk where the real life billionaires are dragons, is an ancient red wyrm. They will have 1.5 million to 5 million gold pieces of treasure. 1 gold piece is ⅒ of an ounce of gold. Therefore the absolute wealthiest dragon in all of D&D and Pathfinder is only worth about $1,200,000,000, and that is only one of them. 99.99% of all other dragons would be worth less than a billion.
The chromatic dragons have to eat their hoard just before they die. If they don’t have enough gold to pay Tiamat, then she eats their souls.
Also, gold is a nice soft bed according to every metallic dragon I have encountered.
They just like sitting on a Dragons hoard.

I think once your net wealth hits 100mil, it should buffer overflow to NaN and you have to start over.
