I saw this explanation and did a screen shot. I thought it was an interesting way to illustrate the size of the number.

Re: How Much is a Billion?

[ Edited ]

I read Musk was worth about $240 billion way back in 2022--reported by CBS.  

 

Roger Federer worth about $550 million this year, lots of NFL players worth around $40 to $50 million -- many $20 million or less, this year.
