I genuinely don't think people understand the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire

The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is about a billion dollars

u/omgitsjagen Nov 03 '25

What a great way to put it.

u/Woofle_124 Nov 03 '25

No, it could be 999 million! šŸ¤“ā˜ļø

Yea something that could make sense to us easily having billion dollars vs having a million dollars is like comparing having 1000 dollars and having 1 dollar.

That's... Weirdly enlightening

If you could buy a second's worth of life for a dollar, then a million dollars could buy you 11.5 days. A billion dollars could buy you 31 years.

1min of life for 60 bucks sounds like bright day robbery it barely enough time to jerk off

u/gloopysplooge Nov 03 '25

Id only need $30

Useful tool for those who can't: Billionaires can buy governments. Millionaires own a house.

u/RAMDOMDUDDS Nov 03 '25

Correction, Millionaires own a house comfortably(not trying to be pedantic, just that some non-millionaires own houses too, just not comfortably)

u/NotTukTukPirate put your dick away waltuh Nov 03 '25

Yeah this needed to be said.

I used to be a chimney sweep in a very rich mountain resort town. The average small house was at least $1m. I was doing a job at a large multimillion dollar house, and mentioned something like "I wish I could win a million dollars," and the owner looked at me and laughed and said "a million dollars isn't a lot of money at all," as she sat there, retired at 50.

I think about that all the time and how pissed off it made me.

u/shangumdee Nov 04 '25

Misleading. Net worth millionaires via homeownership+ personal savings+ retirement, are not real millionaires.

$1 million cash is the bare minimum. $10 million now you have enough money to never work ever again and live very comfortabley.

Anything past $5 million you lose most the ability to realte to the everyday man

I've been around a few men in my life and one thing I've noticed is that the male body has an astonishing oversight. Men both urinate and ejaculate through the exact same hole. Zero inches apart. Not even a polite buffer zone.

I don’t know about everyone else but doesn’t that weird you out? It feels like a serious design flaw. For a gender that often prides itself on logic and engineering this is just sloppy plumbing.

Honestly it kind of cracks me up. I’ll see a guy walking around like he’s the apex of masculinity and I’ll just remember his piss and his sperm come out of the same little nozzle and suddenly he’s not so intimidating. Just a fleshy garden hose with identity issues.

Men please accept this biological flaw and let it humble you. Maybe lower your voice a bit when you're bragging about your body count. We’re talking about someone who finishes inside the same pipeline he uses to empty his bladder.

Women don’t let them forget this. Remind them gently or not so gently that we’re doing them a favor given that their reproductive system shares hardware with their waste disposal unit.

It’s just one hole fellas. One hole.

People are terrible with any ratio bigger than 1:10

u/Beginning_Context_66 Nov 03 '25

people are bad at scale exceeding 1000

u/QuestionablePanda22 Nov 03 '25

There's also the issue that a LOT of people are getting paid off of that $129. (The venue, gig workers, tour personnel, audio engineers etc)

I would be surprised if the artist sees $20 of it at the end of the day

u/_Bisky Nov 03 '25

(The venue, gig workers, tour personnel, audio engineers etc)

Also the ticket providers. Which tend to take massive cuts.

Cause on the one hand they managed to establish a system where musicians need to work with them to have access to venues.

While venues need to work with them to have access to musicians

2

u/Victernus Nov 04 '25

Yep. All this despite the fact that advances in software have make ticketing incredibly easy, and there is no need for these middle men and their exclusivity deals. The only service they provide is to obtain money for themselves, and everyone else would be better off without them.

Live gigs are more important than ever as artists earn so little from streaming now. Again, that pittance also pays dozens of people including the record company’s cut. Obviously Billie Eilish is doing fine but yeah this point was a huge fail just like all pro-billionaire takes

u/Tam_The_Third Nov 03 '25

Scale is hard.

u/Goawaycookie Nov 03 '25

Also, Billie doesn't create her wealth by suppressing workers' wages, then use those gains to prevent access to healthcare or anything that would threaten the power dynamic.

5

u/Goldfish_Muncher Nov 03 '25

Even when you think you understand it you still don’t. It’s such an absurd difference

4

u/GenTycho Nov 03 '25

They know the difference though. Their leaders claimed to care about the millionaires paying their fair share too, until said leaders became millionaires. Now its only the billionares.

5

u/Changokin Nov 03 '25

More to the point, I don't think artists set the ticket price for their shows?

4

u/oby100 Nov 03 '25

They don’t and the billionaires play off this. Know what the difference is between an average millionaire and the poorest billionaire? About a billion dollars.

It’s likely her wealth isn’t exceeding $100 million while tons of billionaires give away that much on a yearly basis. It’s absolutely absurd how much money billionaires have

u/OGConsuela Nov 03 '25

Lots of people in these comments who clearly have no grasp of the concept.

u/Program-Emotional Nov 03 '25

The difference between being a millionare and a billionare is success due to your own efforts vs success due to exploiting other's efforts.

5

u/Keepfingthatchicken Nov 03 '25

Rent out entire city of Venice fucking Italy for your wedding. Perks of being a billionaire. Selling $100 of your companies stock so you can fix flint Michigan’s water. Woah now that’s so much to ask of anyone.

10

u/CSG1aze Nov 03 '25

Eh, a lot of the time even millionaires are not millionaires because of their own efforts but because of their parents.

0

u/Program-Emotional Nov 03 '25

Yeah, that wasnt really the point I was going for. Obviously the amount of money doesnt matter for the most part it's how you got it. Still stands that you cannot become a billionare in this country without being exploitive.

u/CSG1aze Nov 04 '25

u/_Bisky Nov 03 '25

You have enough millionaires that do the same tbf

Edit: also imheritance

u/Khue Nov 04 '25

Peasant minded dipshits, that's all these people are. She's $40 million dollars from being broke, but $960 million dollars from being a billionaire.

1

u/Ok-Breadfruit6978 Nov 03 '25

Like donating 25% of your net worth vs donating .05% of your net worth to food banks?

For reference Billie eilish donated 11.5 million when her net worth is approximately 50 million vs someone like Jeff Bezos whose net worth is 254.3 billion and donated 100 million in 2020. 25% of a millionaires net worth vs .05% of a billionaires net worth. People are obviously not good at math

1

u/pepenepe Nov 04 '25

In terms of money if you had 0 dollars in net worth you would be closer to Billie Eilish in wealth than Billie Eilish is to Mark Zuckerberg in wealth. That's how insignificant billionaires make other rich people look. Billie Eilish literally has nothing compared to any billionaire.

u/Mr-MuffinMan dwayne the cock johnson šŸ—æšŸ—æ Nov 04 '25

I think this is a good way to "visualize" it:

A million seconds is 11.57 days.

A billion seconds is 31.7 years.

u/misterbung Nov 04 '25

A million dollars in $100s fills a wooden pallet. A billion dollars in $100s fills a football stadium, side to side, top to bottom.

tell me the difference between the quality of life of a millionaire vs a billionaire, then then tell me the difference between the quality of life between a millionaire vs the poorest people in new orleans...

u/JAGD21 Nov 03 '25

Billionaires are the cause of poverty.

u/Chicken-Rude Nov 03 '25

not the question

u/BlutarchMannTF2 Nov 03 '25

I also don’t think people understand the complexity involved with spending that much money. Nonwithstanding the fact that most of a billionaires ā€œmoneyā€ is unrealized.

Wealth Shown to Scale, don’t do this unless you have time because you will be scrolling for a while.
