    I don’t think your math is correct. There are 946,728,000 seconds in 30 years. That would mean they made just over a dollar per second, which is still pretty insane.

      I think there is confusion over the long- and short scale naming system for numbers.

      Long Billion: 1012

      Short Billion: 109

        Huh, never heard of that before. I’ve literally only ever heard of 1 billion as 1,000,000,000.

          Yeah, it could be confusing, except what individual on earth has a trillion (long-form billion) dollars? It’ll happen in our lifetimes, sure, but not right now

          Also, look up lakh and crore if you want to think you’re having a stroke
