Mathematically, I think it's hard for people to truly understand the obscene wealth that some people have accumulated. 100 billion doesn't sound that different than 100 million.

100 million is magnitudes closer to ZERO than it is to 100 billion.

Even with all of the examples here and that I've seen around, it's still something I know I don't fully grasp. I'm also confident this is the same kind of limitation that flat earthers use when they say "Well I can't comprehend the Earth being a sphere, it just looks flat to me."
