$700 Million Per Hour

Writer's picture: Tommy McPhatterTommy McPhatter


There are probably better ways to conceptualize the immensity of one million one millions. No examples I found could adequately fit on the screen. I broke the comparative scale into 2 charts. The first provides context to scale lifetime earnings to $1B.

Now that I have a handle on b-b-b-billion, I can finish the scale with one more chart.

Borrowing from the Visual Capitalist, we can take a look at a physical scale.















Here is $1B on pallets. That is a $46.7 million loveseat.





















$1 T is impressive. To see it, or imagine it this way is a little gross to be honest.










None of us personally know our great-great-grandparents. Likewise, our great-great-grandkids will not know us and unless there is a family archivist and historian, they will likely not even know our names. This will not stop us from gifting them with the greatest known generational debt in history. Our great-grand-children's great-grand-kids will ask, just WTF were they doing?


To which I say.
