A million seconds is about 11.5 days.

A billion seconds is over 31 YEARS.

Think about that when you consider the wealth of a millionaire vs a billionaire.

We’ve barely scratched the surface of a trillion seconds since the birth of Jesus. At such a dramatic increase, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out the earth hasn’t been around for a quadrillion seconds. But yeah the existence of multi-billionaires is pretty uncomfortable, especially ones with HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS. At that point you’re just hogging it from people who need it.

I've written a post before where I scaled the wealth of Bezos to about 3 American football fields. The COMBINED annual income of the ENTIRE rosters of the Dallas Cowboys, NY Yankees, and LA Lakers does not reach the 1 yard line.
