Jeff Bezos is worth about $180 billion.
Compared to the net worth of the average millennial of $72,000 (according to Business Insider, surely a huge overestimate):
1/4 of 1/4 of 1 percent of millennial worth = $47.50
1/4 of 1/4 of 1 percent of Bezos worth = $112.5 million
Yup. A hundred mil in his pocket feels like $50 in ours.
If you cashed us out in hundred dollar bills it would weigh as much as a bottle of water.
If you cashed out Bezos, it would weigh as much as 2 cargo ships.
This is what buying stuff feels like for him:
$50k student loan payoff = tootsie roll
$750,000 home = Pack of gum
Learjet 45 = bottle of Coke
Business class hotel = gallon of milk
F-16 fighter jet = pack of cigarettes
Boeing 747 airliner = speeding ticket
10 fully equipped Metro area hospitals = PlayStation 5
CDC annual budget = Used car
If his net worth was divided evenly across the entire time period since Amazon was founded, assuming a 40 hour work week, he would be making about $3.5 million per hour, or roughly $1000 per second.
