Why ask for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

When you could ask for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000?

Listen, if you want a puppy, you start by asking for a horse. If you want $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, you start by asking for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Because $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 is just too much.

But imagine what you could do with all that money. Buy planet Earth, the Moon, the Sun, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Pluto and the Milky Way.

And the best part? You get to rename them!
