Holy hell, 2" of growth in a day and this weather's not gonna let up for another week, to say nothing of possible rain over the next three months. Jeez.

This is part of the reason why it's a bad argument when someone accuses, say, a hollywood director, with a famous name and a big house in LA, of being hypocritical if they say something negative, either directly or in their work, about billionaires. Quintin Tarantino, who's on an extreme end in terms of success and wealth for Hollywood directors, has something like $120 million to his net worth, which means he's worth just below 1000x the median American of his age bracket (about $200,000) At the same time, Elon Musk at $144 billion is worth more than 1000 Tarantinos. If somebody thinks a person as wealthy or even a hundredth as wealthy as Tarantino is 'rich', that's fine, but they gotta see how one is just in a different magnitude to the other.

Not only that, how could a 14yo amass a total of 5k in the 1930’s!?

I had so much fun with Fifa 12, played countless hours but haven't really touched em much since

The scale is not the best

Axie Infinity too for some reason. For those who don't know, tl;dr pokemon breeding and fighting simulator but much worse and with NFTs. No idea how The Metaverse™ label applies to it.

What a joke

I suspect they’re trying to get Horizons to be the Second Life of Meta. No thanks.

So you're saying there's still a chance I become billionaire?

Seems like 12am and 12pm are swapped...? Or I am not familiar with 12 hour clock enough.

Trent Williams was huge, agreed.

Working back for inflation you could probably buy a house with that.

Still, astounding gains, particularly that 26k to 1m jump in 4 years.

They consider Minecraft and fortnight part of the Metaverse.

There is 1k people on the metaverse?

Sure, some. But I seriously doubt the majority of the Top 50. Most of these Universities I've never heard of

What did he do between 26 and 30?

Shows you how much a billion is huh?

No idea how many will see this, but I put together charts for log and inflation-adjusted numbers. The log is pretty interesting, as the log relationship flattens around age 60--as soon as it skyrockets in OP's chart:

I did what I could:

The log scale shows a remarkably consistent rise in wealth between age 30 and 60, which becomes flat basically as soon as his wealth skyrockets here.

Whoever picked these colors for US and UK shoild be fired.

Are the amounts from when he was young adjusted to account for inflation?

Germany is usually underrepresented in these rankings since a lot of the research is not done by the university itself but by collaborating institutes like Fraunhofer, Max Planck, RKI and similar. It is just a different organizational setup that international comparisons do not take into account.

Aka “Scatter plot”

Just wait till the Billionaires get ahold of gene therapy to prvent aging. Its already in the works.
