    Bill Gate’s net worth is $113.6bn. $150m is 0.13% of that. Meaning he would have $113,450,000,000 left over.

    The world population is 7.8bn people. 7.8bn * $3 = $23.4bn.

    $113.45bn - $23.4bn = $90.05bn left over after eradicating the coronavirus.

      It’s obscene how much money actually exists, how much wealth is created and ready to be used. One can’t even imagine it. We still cling on to this idea, in the imperial core, that we are doing kinda okay because of balanced economics and things take time to achieve (so a 2% GDP increase is the best you can hope for), but if people actually knew how rich the rich are, there would be riots.

      While you’re out there budgeting and figuring out if a 5000$ used car is in your budget, there are millionaires who don’t even care to pick up the bill they dropped on the ground.

      Absolutely obscene.
