3 billion is ultra wealthy, you can't be serious.
replyIt’s entry-level billionaires club. The top 10 each hold $100B–$300B+, so the wealth distribution is extraordinarily skewed even within billionaires themselves. Musk is hundreds of times richer. Hardly obscenely rich.
replyIt's entry-level obscenely rich club.
replyI must be talking to AI
replyThis AI recommends you visualize inequality at scale and see the difference between 1B vs 300B. https://youtu.be/c7sr46hxVM4
replyThe percentile ranking increase is greater between median human and 1B compared to 1B and 300B. Bad AI
replyFriend, $3B is unfathomable wealth for an individual.
replyI can fathom 3B, I can’t fathom 300B
replyQuick, without doing any kind of Googling or calculation: if I asked you to count 3B grains of rice by hand, how long would that take you? How big would that pile of rice be? How long would it take you to eat it?
replyA billion is already unfathomably large. If you think it isn't, you just haven't tried imagining what a billion of anything would be like.
Yes, big number better, everyone gets it.
replyThe point is that you’re deluding yourself if you think that there is any difference in terms of relative “unfathomability” between 3 billion and 300 billion.
3 billion generates more in interest per day than 99.99% of people make in a year. That’s unfathomable volumes of wealth for even the very rich.
This comment left me speechless... There are just a bit over 3000 billionaires in the world, 900 in the USA. If $3B isn't "unfathomable wealth" I don't know what is.
