    I am categorically unmoved by the deaths of billionaires. They could all go, and the world would be a meaningfully better place for everyone left.

      If one “earns” $1m per year, it would take 1000 years to earn $1b.

      If one earns $1m per month it’d take about 80 years.

      If one earned $1b per year then it’d still take 114 years to reach the top ten billionaires list.

      That amount of wealth is incomprehensible.
