      The point, obviously, is that talking about billionaires as if they have billions of dollars in cash, and drawing a direct comparison between their net worth and attaining an amount of cash, linearly, over a stretch of time, is, obviously, disingenuous and deliberately misleading.

      Obviously.

        Wealth is often measured in currency. That’s why they are not called houseionaires or equityionaires and the like. For simplicity’s sake, the combined value of their assets is then often reduced to a single translation into, for example, dollars. One countable sum signifying net worth. Glad you could learn something today.
