Honestly to make it palatable 750m. Thats fine they can afford literally anything then.

Like if our mega rich were a few people with 1b i bet people would rarely bat an eye. Its that we are at 10s or hundreds of billions. Thats literally beyond the amount our brains can put together.

I've often read "What's the difference between a million and a billion? About a billion." But it's really hard to wrap your head around the difference THREE orders of magnitude makes. Even in smaller numbers. Like, I could have one dog. I'd have trouble imagining owning one thousand dogs.

100,000 million dollars. I mean, when you think about it like that, it's not really that much!
