Another way to see the huge difference between $1m and $1b:
Let's say you made $1/second (which is an insanely good salary, $3600/hr), and you earned this not just business hours, but 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Earning $1m would take you less than 12 days. Earning $1b would take you over 31 years.
Worse yet, if you made $1/second 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, it would take roughly 6,700 years to accumulate Elon Musk’s net worth… or approximately $1 per second since 1,500 years before ancient Egypt arose
