This isn't taking into account interest or returns, even with only 4% interest for the last 500 years you'd have $139,645,688,150,572,023,808.00 which is a little more than Musk

Always makes me laugh when someone inevitably brings up compound interest whenever these posts are made about how rich these billionaires actually are.

"Guys, you're not getting the point. You'd be way richer than Musk if you just learned to invest conservatively. You wouldn't even need to be thousands of years old like OP said, just like 500 years old investing $10,000 a day and you'd be fine."
