      I belive that the 6 dude after him have a less volatile wealth because they are less likely to blow 115 billions $ woth a net worth over a tweet or a press conference.

    2. A billion dollars is an *absurd* amount of money. If you somehow spent $10,000 per day from the day you were born, you could live 3 LIFETIMES and still have more leftover than 99.999% people will ever see during theirs. And these people have literally *hundreds of billions.* Tax the fucking rich.

      While they are filthy rich and shouldnt have even 1/100 of their money it’s their net worth, not how many money they have.

      I’m fine with it, Finally started to see the effects of trickle down economics in my life.

      Wait no, that’s just piss

    5. Most of that wealth is US stock market bazingas.

      Remember, that Bitcoin vapor has $3 trillion “market cap”, cough.

      Can we just talk quickly about how much money 600billion actually is. That is more gdp than multiple countries.

      So the guy shown as second actually has (according to this) the fourth most money. So not really interesting if it is inaccurate.

    8. Man just after the pandemic it was 200 billion and that was a ridiculously large gap amongst the classes. Now he has 3 times that?? In 5 years????

    9. I still haven’t heard from the arts center, hospital, or the Ellinson, Page, Musk, Bezos foundation.

    10. If you went back to 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and made $1 million per day each day to today, you still wouldn’t have half as much as Elon Musk.

      Anybody having this much money while people, as an objective FACT, *preventably* suffer and die from lack of housing, food security and medical care is a moral travesty.

    12. Impressed by the gap between 1st, and 2nd? You should have a look at the gap between the 100th, and me!

    13. Melon Mask was around 250 bil at the pandemic. What happened so it’s nearing 700 now?

      What’s the point of having that much money? It’s ridiculous. Could’ve raised everyone’s life with a simple tax and still have enough money to last multiple generations.

    15. No one person should have more wealth than a country.

      Each of these could not get paid for a year and solve problems, invest in infrastructure and advance medical research.

      Imagine being known as the person who gave up billions to advance the human race, that would make you one of the best people to exist.

    16. The wealth difference between me and the second richest man on earth is less than the wealth difference between him and the richest man on earth.

    17. What’s crazy to me is that 1 million seconds is like 11 days, 1 billion seconds is like 32 years.

    18. Can someone ELI5 –

      1. How on Earth does Musk’s wealth keep flying up so much? He was worth like $50bn five years ago, $400bn just last year. Where the hell is this enormous amount of money coming from?

      2. How much of it is really “his”? Like, if someone found a massive diamond worth $600bn, could he just buy it?

    19. We can’t extend health care subsidies cause it will cost us 36 billion over the next 10 years meanwhile these guys….

    20. I don’t understand how Elon has that much. I genuinely don’t; he founded PayPal and bought an EV company that represents a minority of total car sales, and? Genuine question, how is he worth $600B+?

    21. South_Buy_3175 on

      Billionaires really should not exist.

      Soon as you hit a billion you should just get a big plaque that reads “You won capitalism” and any more money made is taken by the government.

      That or we just eat them.

    22. We should view these money hoarders the same way we view someone hoarding old junk in their house: as mentally ill.

    23. Why is it insane? There’s a similar distribution in most neighbourhoods. The richest family could easily have 3 times the wealth of the 2nd richest.

      I feel like it would be more surprising if there wasn’t at least one stand out.

    24. Any one of them could fix most of the world’s problems and still be richer than most people… And yet they all choose to be selfish cunts.
