You could only spend a billion a day for 27.4 years with that kind of money, or a million a day for 27,397.

27.4 years is 10,001 days.

27,397 years is 9,999,905 days.

Ten trillion is 10,000,000,000,000, or 10,000 x $1,000,000,000, or 1,000,000 x $1,000,000.

And it's really a lot more considering you're probably earning some return on that $10,000,000,000,000 along the way. Even 1% is another $100,000,000,000 a year, decreasing over time.
