minus-squareMerryJaneDoe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·21 hours agoIt’s not though? 1,000,000,000/50,000,000 = 1:20 ratio It’s like $20 vs. $1 Except it’s still not that. Because whether you’ve got $1 or $20, it’s still a negligible amount of money. $50 million is enough money to easily collect $1,000,000 in interest every year. Use that as income, keep the rest invested and it would still grow. Generational wealth. The kind of wealth that creates people like Donald Trump. More money than any single person needs.
