[The Hobbit] What would have happened if Bilbo took his full share?

After the Battle of the Five Armies Bilbo only took a tiny fraction of what was originally agreed to. This still allowed him and later Frodo to live comfortably without ever having to work. What would have happened if Bilbo returned to the Shire with 1/14th of the treasure?

Assume that he makes it back to the Shire safe with the gold.

1/14th of the treasure would have been able to allow him to buy all the land in the west previously owned by Arnor. The mithril shirt itself was worth more than the entire Shire, but ultimately the short of it is that Bilbo would not have been able to do much with the gold as he really just didn't care for money. Bilbo had a very nice home with no mortgage, he had a quiet life in a very peaceful community, he was respected by his peers, and all of his needs were more than satisfied even before going on the quest for the Lonely Mountain. If he did take the entire 1/14th share then it is very likely that he would have tried to give it away, most of it to the Shire which would have caused both an economic boom and crippling inflation in the region as well even more resentment from the Sackville Bagins.
