    Half a trillion in equity is so unfathomable in my reality.

    $500,000,000,000

    Let’s say I ask him for 0.001% of his wealth… I would get $5,000,000.

    Now let’s put this into perspective of my reality. If I had $1000 and someone asked me for the same 0.001% of my wealth, I would be handing over $0.01.

    One cent.

    I understand that this wouldn’t be sustainable if I give everyone one cent from my pot of a thousand… but still. Have a trillion dollars makes me sick.

        Not in the grand scheme of things. It is mostly only relevant when it is a about whether he can afford various impulse buys, like purchasing twitter.

        One person owning that much wealth, whether it be equity or assets is not something that should happen at all.
