About a billion dollars.
FrangibleSoul@reddit
And a billion and a Brazilian?

A woman with a billion you marry.
A woman with a Brazilian isn’t hairy.

I’m so glad you said this. My brain went to the people of Brazil

If you owe the bank a million and can't pay, you have a problem.
If you owe the bank a billion and can't pay, the BANK has a problem.
GolettO3@reddit
If the bank owes you a million dollars, you still have a problem

A billionaire is to a millionaire, what a millionaire is to a bum collecting cans in a stolen shopping cart.
LostBetsRed@reddit
More like a billionaire is to a millionaire as a millionaire is to a thousandaire.

If you only have $5000, would you not be a bum?
JetScreamerBaby@reddit
If I save my money, I can be a bum.

You don't need a million dollars to do nothin. Take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do shit.

It's good to have goals!
DerCatzefragger@reddit
A bum collecting cans in a shopping cart is good for $1000 a year. You'd only need 55 cans a day to make that much.
LostBetsRed@reddit
There is a finite supply of discarded aluminum cans. If you increase the demand by encouraging more workers to enter the field, you're just inviting organized crime and turf wars.

In German, 1 Billion is a trillion (1.000.000.000.000) and a billion is eine Milliarde… (1.000.000.000) and eine Trillion is a quintillion (not a quartillion) and I never understood why.

That’s kind of a rule for Europe. It is completely stupid because it is not symmetrical with fractions of 1, I.e., 10^-3, 10^-6, 10^-9, etc, where the name changes at every power of 3 (mili, micro, nano, pico, etc).

I'm closer to being a millionaire than Elon musk is...
Tight_Syllabub9423@reddit
He's doing his best to get there.
sovlex@reddit
Yeah, but why bother?
zefciu@reddit
Because most people seem to not understand this when thinking about what wealth means. They believe that because they landed a well-paid job, they are more similar to Elon Musk, than to a guy with a shitty job. This joke is good to show the perspective.

You can likely retire on a million, your whole family can retire on a billion
Mikesaidit36@reddit
A billion dollars is 1,000 million dollars.
Wjyosn@reddit
So, 999 million is the difference. Which is about a billion.
Indifferentchildren@reddit
To answer that the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is a billion dollars is 99.9% correct.
kiti-tras@reddit
No appreciable difference (staring at my bank balance of 203.45$).
ramakrishnasurathu@reddit
Ah, the riddle of wealth, a playful jest,
A million or billion, what matters the best?
One seems so vast, yet the other so much more,
Still, both are fleeting like waves on the shore.
Chasing numbers, we often lose sight,
Of the joy that's within, the true shining light.
For a billion is just a number, you see,
But the richness of life is where we are free.
So laugh at the jest, but heed the call,
The value of living is greater than all.
