Say, what? MILLIONaires, with an M, as the standard of wealth? Was this article written in 1960?
Within the next few years, maybe sooner, we will have our first trillionaire. Elon is about halfway there, and Larry Ellison actually passed him for a short time last week before falling back into second.
According to Forbes, the top ten richest people earned an average of $20 billion apiece in September alone! Elon made 75 billion last month. That’s more than a million dollars per minute, if you’re scoring at home.
To add some context:
Elon’s gain of $75 billion last month was greater than the monthly GDP of 43 of the 50 states, and 173 of the world’s countries.
There are about 100 countries where the value of all private wealth in the entire country is lower than Elon’s personal wealth. In about 65 of those countries the entire amount of private wealth is less than Elon made last month.
To once again cite the wisdom of the ever-wise Jeff Spicoli, “Righteous bucks!”
