    Just a reminder if someone gave you $10,000 a day, youd be very rich and happy. Most certainly set for life.

    And with that money alone it’d take 274 years to become a billionaire.

    Nobody needs that.

      Christ! This is a better description than the ‘million seconds vs. billion seconds’ one.

        Even if you got $100,000 a day, every day, it’d take you 27 years to hit a billion with just that money. That’s a working days of an 8 hour, hourly wage of 12,500 an hour. 27 years.

        Billionaires need to stop being billionaires.

          I can’t even imagine how much easier life would be at ten grand a day. It’s a baffling amount of money. And all we have is proof. Proof that more than that turns these people into something less relatable that an anonymous assassin that shot dead a health insurance company CEO.

          Absolute madness.

      And you will still never catch up to the billionaires of today because they use that money to make more money even faster than that.
