Here's the math since I was curious

1492 was 194,440 days ago * $5000 = $972,200,000

Forbes put bezos at $209,000,000,000 for 2025

The author of the tweet didn't go far enough. Should have gone for for 1 million USD instead. Even if you made 1 000 000$ every day, it would still not be enough.

Absolutely insane.

Well it says that you wouldn't even be a billionaire. That's right up against the limit for being a billionaire.

But yeah bezos has over 200x that money

No, Bezos has basically the same amount of money. Still absolutely wild.
