I try to remind people that a billion is 1000 million dollars. So 100B is 100,000 million dollars. This is an absurd amount of money, literally unbelievable amounts.

Exactly!

While true, there are 10 people with that kind of money. When you look at the billionaire list, it don't take long before you are down in the 2-5b range which is still a lot of money.

An interesting way of looking at it is that a million seconds is just over 11 days, and a billion seconds is over 31 years.

The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.

And if the global wealth was distributed equally, each person could have almost $60,000. Could it favor you?

Nope because after that, money would lose most of its value.

I was playing a mobile game, it had a chat system and i was talking to others about how much money I grinded in that game. I had billions and was mega rich compared to other players. Then it dawned on me there was people in real life who had more real money than me with fake money. Got depressed pretty fast
