Neil deGrasse Tyson reminds us how grotesquely rich Jeff Bezos is

May 12, 2018

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is keen on calculations, has put Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ wealth into a space-themed perspective for us.

In the last year, Bezos became $40 billion richer, ballooning his wealth to over $130 billion. If this were put into dollar bills, each 6.14 inches long, Tyson calculates that the chain of greenbacks would “circle Earth 200 times then reach the Moon & back 15 times then, with what’s left over, circle Earth another 8 times.” 

Not that anybody asked, but @JeffBezos‘ 130-Billion dollars, laid end-to-end, can circle Earth 200 times then reach the Moon & back 15 times then, with what’s left over, circle Earth another 8 times.
