Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire.
But most people can’t actually wrap their heads around how big $1 trillion is.
So here’s some perspective:
1 million seconds = 11 days
1 billion seconds = 31 years
1 trillion seconds = 31,688 years
With $1 trillion, you could spend $100,000 every single day for 27,379 years.
Or spend $1 million every day for 2,739 years.
You could fund NASA’s annual budget for about 40 years.
And $1 trillion is bigger than the annual GDP of Taiwan, Israel, and Singapore.
If Elon Musk’s net worth were a country, it would be roughly a top-20 economy.
Genuine question:
Forget billionaires…
Should trillionaires exist?
Why or why not?
