So 0.01% of his wealth? What commitment.
I'm sure it's much more off the books
Lol I know thats off the cuff, but it's significantly less than even that.
It's .001, even the difference in your mistake is a significant amount to everyone else. That's 100 dollars vs 1 dollar. And that's just the math error.
In this case it's a FUCKING TRILLION DOLLARS VS 100 MILLION DOLLARS.
No one in the history of fucking anyone should ever have anything close to either amount. But it's key to understand that those amounts differ by 999,899,999,999 dollars.
I've never seen a billionaire bleed, but I'd fucking love to.
0.01% is 1% of 1%. 1% of a trillion is 10 billion, 1% of 10 billion is 100 million. The original was actually correct
I did some drunk math on a mobile calculator. Are you sure though?
I did 10b times 100 and got 1.E12, kinda odd considering 1T fits. But if e12 means 12 zeroes, you may be right.
All that said, I'm still angry, and never was upset at op
it's the equivalent of someone with 10,000 in their bank account spending 1 dollar.
