It’s a score. It’s how well you do at capitalism. Number goes up, you did good. It’s not a practical thing. Even at 1bn they had enough to set them, their kids and their grandkids up for life. It’s all about the bragging rights.
Even at 1bn they had enough to set them, their kids and their grandkids up for life.
It’s enough to set up the rest of your family for life forever via passive income (unless one of your fail children spend it all which is always possible)
