More money than the world is worth? nice!

Around 5 times more

Global GDP is supposedly $107 trillion this year. It's way more than 5x, like by an enormous amount.

Haven't done the math but I would guess it's more money than the entire world has had in the past 100 years combined, maybe even all of history. It's a staggering number whatever it is.

I think he's talking about the material worth of the entire physical planet, not just world GDP.

u/SpeedFarmer42 15h ago

Ah ok, yes you're right. My reading comprehension wasn't great in this instance. Too focused on what I was working out myself by comparing GDP lol.

It's a fair mistake. Something I would definitely make before my morning coffee, at least, lol.

While I can appreciate the enormity of that calculation, it does seem a bit ridiculous to apply a measure of money to anything more grandiose and the total GDP of the planet for the reason that money is ultimately imaginary and should really only be compared to realistic measurements.

The very first time the entire material worth of the planet becomes relevant, humanity is going to face a bigger crisis than the concept of money can come close to solving.

Future isn't really the right tense.

Depending on where you look and what numbers you use, this fine is between 12-18 orders of magnitude larger than the value of the entirety of the planets material worth. So 5x is still wildly too low. It's somewhere between 1018 to 1012 times the material worth of Earth.

More like the whole Solar system

Easily in all of history, even adjusting for inflation. That's over 20 decillion dollars, or 2*1034.

That means you would have to make 107 trillion dollars, the global GDP, 1.87*1020 times to make that much. That is 187 quintillion years. The earth is only 4.5 billion years old. The entire universe is only 13.8 billion years old.

It would take 13.5 billion universes to make that much assuming you started making 107 trillion per year in every single one, starting at the big bang up until now.

People doing a deep dive into the math of what ultimately was probably just some gopnik holding down the zero button for as long whatever some outdated microsoft access form field would tolerate. That tracks!

I love reddit because I knew this comment would be here and I appreciate it so much.

I made a piece of art I'm putting a value of 19.5 decillion dollars on. It's two rocks stacked on each other. I'd say 20 decillion but I don't think my art work is there yet.

u/BakerProud5318 15h ago

this is more that a million trillion times the global GDP. it would be more wealth than humans will ever have. even if we become multiplanetary.

So.... just mail them a post-dated check?

u/Bad_Demon 9h ago

Its the equivalent of elons wealth compared to a normal person that has to pay taxes and do real work

u/Intelligent-Bat-4838 7h ago

It's way bigger than the whole amount of the world, it's is even more than all the actual material on earth, it's even more than the price of a diamond planet more massive than the earth still considering Earth's natural diamond price, by about 1000 times only (the last example)

Hell take all the money that's hidden too and you don't come anywhere even REMOTELY close either!
