    that is obviously just an analogy for the huge time span. $5000/day meaning at the current value

      Yes, under those conditions you’d have about $969 million: 531 years since 1493. $5000 x 365 = $1825000 per year x 531 = $969,075,000

      According to this article Jeff Bezos makes $595,728,000 a week (holy shit), so even if you were Methuselah earning $5000 a day, he’d still have more money than you after two weeks 😱

        As in Jeff Bezos’s assetts appreciate at 600M a day. To reiterate the OP’s point.

        That is a dangerous amount of power concentration.
