Alternatively you could save 0.1$ a day since the beginning of the universe and also have less money than him.

How do you save 10,000 dollars a day if dollars don't exist yet?

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."

There man from earth (2007)

excellent bottle episode movie

[–] Snowcano@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think we just call that a movie.

It is an epic movie that takes place 90% in a living room and 10% on the driveway.

Yet spans about 40,000years

~~pathetic, not even a billionaire~~
it's 299,376,650,000, if you count days instead of years, like i did.

Huh? You would have ~300b.

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i'm not great with maths, so i launched a calculator immediately, even before making my original comment, and it says 802025x10000 is 820,260,000, which is, if i'm reading this correctly, eight hundred million and change

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where are you gettint the 802025(I'm guessing a typo from 82025? But we're saving 10k per day, not 10k per year)

82000 years * 365 days is somewhere in the ballpark of 30 million. That times 10000 is then 300 billion.

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

well shit, edited my comment
and yes it was a typo
also, even saving 10k a year is pretty impressive, to me at least

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I mean, to be fair, John Oldman doesn't actually want to be a billionaire. He's far too chill and enlightened for that. Rather than spending all that time acquiring and managing wealth, he would much rather spend an afternoon hunting deer with a bow, or take a decade and pick up another PhD.
