    Well no shit… If you’re 30 years old and you EARNED, legit EARNED a billion dollars, you would have to have made $1,056.99 EVERY SECOND of your entire life from birth to 30.

      I don’t think your math is correct. There are 946,728,000 seconds in 30 years. That would mean they made just over a dollar per second, which is still pretty insane.

          Huh, never heard of that before. I’ve literally only ever heard of 1 billion as 1,000,000,000.

            Yeah, it could be confusing, except what individual on earth has a trillion (long-form billion) dollars? It’ll happen in our lifetimes, sure, but not right now

            Also, look up lakh and crore if you want to think you’re having a stroke

        My math may be off as I am completely high on drugs. :) Long story.

      That, and a billion dollars is not earned unless you count your money managers earning their own pay by investing your money well.
