    If a dollar was deposited into you account every SECOND, it would take approximately 32 years to get to just one billion dollars.

    Elon Musk has 180! And he’s the SECOND richest guy on Earth. The richest being Bernard Arnault at 211!!!

    It’s absolutely grotesque to be this filthy rich.

    Also, inb4 “It’S pApEr VaLuE, nOt ReAl MoNeY iN tHe BaNk”. Who cares? You could sell it all and become an international hero by ending all famine, bringing healthcare to everyone and giving shelter to everyone who needs it.

        Even better - it’s a debt. It lowers their income to below 0. It’s a tax break.

      I just had to do the math. If Jesus rose from the dead but then continued living as an immortal zombie, and he managed to squirrel away $250,000 a day, every day without spending a dime, he would just about have as much money as Elon Musk by now.
