I was reading an article about the relativity of large numbers.

Here's a numbers comparison.  

1 Thousand seconds is 16.7 minutes

1 Million seconds is 12 days

1 Billion seconds is 37.7 years

1 Trillion seconds is 31,688 years.  

Another article I read said Elon Musk, the world's richest person, will likely become the first Trillionaire.  It's based on the expected exponential growth of the value of Space X.

Since Elon Musk's net worth is approximately $241.4 Billion, converted to seconds would be 9,100 years.  Whew!

Yet again, I failed to make the list. Perhaps I'm using the wrong millions to seconds converter?

Don't fret John.  These guys may have a few bucks but really....are they happy?  For example, do any of these men own the original pink and green 1:43 collection?  Say no more.....

Good catch!  It's interesting the Forbes editor missed it, though.

I also made note that 8 of the top 10 are all tech based fortunes.

Yes you sure do.......and your occasional matching apparel completes the image statement made IMHO.
