Some more Hadith stating the wrongness of hoarding:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “No one hoards but the traitors (i.e. the sinners).” (Abu Da’ud, No. 2990)
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “The importer [of an essential commodity] into the town will be fed [by Allah], and the hoarder will have [Allah’s] curse upon him.” (Ibn Majah, No: 2144)

The most popular reaction, at first, is to improve their own lives.
When fantasy finishes, many are thinking how to get rid of the rest, just give away to charity, etc.
Only few are willing to take responsibility, to use money for changing the world.
Charity is important of course, but normal economic development is a barebone of society.
If everybody would try do the best while accomplishing their duties, being honest instead of playing corporative career games, life would be better for everybody.
I can't really answer that question, but the Prophet (pbuh) said he would not keep such wealth for more than a few days with him.
Narrated Abu Dhar: While I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) at the Hurra of Medina in the evening, the mountain of Uhud appeared before us. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Dhar! I would not like to have gold equal to Uhud (mountain) for me, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar remains of it with me, for more than one day or three days, except that single Dinar which I will keep for repaying debts. I will spend all of it (the whole amount) among Allah's slaves like this and like this and like this." The Prophet (ﷺ) pointed out with his hand to illustrate it and then said, "O Abu Dhar!" I replied, "Labbaik wa Sa`daik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "Those who have much wealth (in this world) will be the least rewarded (in the Hereafter) except those who do like this and like this (i.e., spend their money in charity)." ... (Sahih al-Bukhari 6268)
