For perspective, 2 facts: 1. When the first Forbes list was released in 1982, the richest human alive had just 2 billion dollars (AKA 6.4 billion in 2026 $) 2. If you’d earned $5,000 AN HOUR and had been working full-time since the day Jesus was born, $200,000/wk x 105,800 wks, you’d have “only” 21.1 billion, placing you at the “modest” position of 121 on the current Forbes list. Nobody becomes a billionaire through hard work & fair business practices.
