To put it into perspective: If you would earn 5000$ every day (not per month, per day) and you had started with that when Columbus discovered America, you still had not 1 billion!

If you made $61k per day for a 45 year career, you would make ~$1bn.
So, that’s like a decent yearly salary PER DAY, from the age of 20 to the age of 65.
If $61k per year can support someone for a year, that career would support 365 people for 45 years.
And that’s just $1bn over a full career.
If you earned $1bn per year, that could support 16,425 per year on a $61k salary. Thats a town of people.
