    Alternatively you could save 0.1$ a day since the beginning of the universe and also have less money than him.

    This isn’t taking into account interest or returns, even with only 4% interest for the last 500 years you’d have $139,645,688,150,572,023,808.00 which is a little more than Musk

      Always makes me laugh when someone inevitably brings up compound interest whenever these posts are made about how rich these billionaires actually are.

      “Guys, you’re not getting the point. You’d be way richer than Musk if you just learned to invest conservatively. You wouldn’t even need to be thousands of years old like OP said, just like 500 years old investing $10,000 a day and you’d be fine.”

    pathetic, not even a billionaire
    it’s 299,376,650,000, if you count days instead of years, like i did.

        i’m not great with maths, so i launched a calculator immediately, even before making my original comment, and it says 802025x10000 is 820,260,000, which is, if i’m reading this correctly, eight hundred million and change

          Where are you gettint the 802025(I’m guessing a typo from 82025? But we’re saving 10k per day, not 10k per year)

          82000 years * 365 days is somewhere in the ballpark of 30 million. That times 10000 is then 300 billion.

            well shit, edited my comment
            and yes it was a typo
            also, even saving 10k a year is pretty impressive, to me at least

    I mean, to be fair, John Oldman doesn’t actually want to be a billionaire. He’s far too chill and enlightened for that. Rather than spending all that time acquiring and managing wealth, he would much rather spend an afternoon hunting deer with a bow, or take a decade and pick up another PhD.
