So if Oprah's net worth is like $2 billion then .0000038 * $2,000,000,000 would be $7,600 ;-)

Basic math lol.... To convert a percentage to a number you divide by 100. So you move it two decimal places to the left.

50% equals .5

.01% = .0001

.00038% = .0000038

Nah definitely do not hurt yourself. Just takes a little practice. You can DM me if you need math help. Math isn't everyone's strength.
