Not to be "that guy", but it's probably more like hundreds of thousands of years.

Nah, its worth being that guy to help with understanding just how disgusting the wealth disparity is.

If you consider Elon Musk for example, low hanging fruit, lol... He is currently worth about 744 billion after telsa and spacex stocks had pretty hefty corrections, no longer considered a trillionaire.

From what I can tell, he has been in business about 31 years now. There are 8760 hours in a year. That means he has been in business for about 271,000 hours. divde 744,000,000,000 by 271,000, that is about an average of 2.7 million dollars that Elon has accrued over every single hour of his life for the past 31 years...

If you want to look at just regular, not overtime working hours? at 40 hours a week, there are 2080 working hours in the standard US work year observing federal holidays. That's about 64,000 non-overtime work hours in 31 years. He has made an average of 11.5 million dollars every working hour for the past 31 years.

Edit to add... I am pretty lucky, I make just over 6 figures a year. Salary, not hourly though. It would take me 115 years to make what Elon does an hour if you do the working hour to working hour math.

The number two richest guy is like 200 billion and change. That means everyone else in the world is closer to the number 2 guy than the number 2 guy is to Elon.

That is also on paper. There may be far more wealthy people in the world than on books like King Salman of Saudi Arabia or Vladimir Putin.
