Visualising What A Billion Dollars Looks Like With Windows Notepad

Visualising What A Billion Dollars Looks Like With Windows Notepad


If you want to laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of being rich and feel embarrassed about your bank account at the same time, here’s a little exercise for you. Type $100,000 in a notepad app. That’s a lot of money! Then type that 10 times in a row for a million. Even more money! And finally, type $100,000 10,000 times for a billion. Yeah.

Reckful TV did that exact thing to feel the real power of all those extra zeroes when it comes to being a billionaire and you could honestly lose a few hundred thousand, a few million, a few 10 million and not feel a damn thing. Life is good when you’re rich.

Seriously, I have a stack of pennies in my room right now and if they disappeared, I wouldn’t even notice. That’s how a billionaire would feel about my entire bank account (plus yours and yours and yours)! [Reckful TV via Reddit]
