      Nobody is actually this wealthy, it implies Scrooge McDuck has more than 525 trillion dollars.

      Elon could only lose a half million dollars every minute if he was going broke in 600 years.

      Edit I screwed up my math someone correct me

        That’s off by a bit:

        600 years * 365 days/year * 24 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour = 315,360,000 minutes

        315,360,000 minutes * $1,000,000,000/minute = $315,360,000,000,000,000 or $315 Quadrillon

        For Musk:

        $225.5B current NW

        $225,500,000,000 / 315,360,000 minutes = $715/minute
