    You’re really close to $1B. I’m not actually sure what is thought provoking about this.

    I also don’t know why it doesn’t show that a billionaire hasn’t earned their money. If Taylor Swift gets 10 million people to pay her $150 to go to her concerts in her life time, and her expenses are $50 per show, is she not a billionaire that earned $1B?

    10 million tickets is only 400 shows if she’s filling 25k seat arenas.

    None of this is actual math, but it’s not insane to me that someone could earn a billion dollars.

    What is insane is that someone would sit on a billion dollars like a dragon on their pile of gold.
