    Thing is we’re talking about trillionaires now, not millionaires. It might feel like they’re pretty close right? Since it’s million -> billion -> trillion it means that if you have a million dollars you’re about 1/3 of the way to being a trillionaire right?

    No, you’d be 0.0001% of the way there.

      Just to reframe it:

      1 Trillion = 1,000,000 Million. 1 Million Million. 1 Million².

      If you’re a millionaire, why haven’t you just done it a million more times?
