minus-squaredeadbeef79000@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up50·8 months agoIf one “earns” $1m per year, it would take 1000 years to earn $1b. If one earns $1m per month it’d take about 80 years. If one earned $1b per year then it’d still take 114 years to reach the top ten billionaires list. That amount of wealth is incomprehensible.
