Let's put this in terms we can all understand: pizza. If the average pizza costs $15, Bill Gates could buy enough pizzas to cover every single highway in the United States like a giant, cheesy blanket. And that's just for appetizers.
You know that feeling when you find a crumpled $5 bill in your winter coat from last year? That's a good day. Bill probably has a team of accountants who find that kind of money wedged between the couch cushions of his private jet. He wouldn't even blink.
I once saved up for three months to buy a video game console. Bill Gates could buy the entire video game industry, including the buildings, the developers, and the little rubber feet on the bottom of the controllers, and still have change for a yacht that comes with its own helicopter.
The Age of "What If?"
Have you ever been stuck in a traffic jam and thought, "What would I do with a billion dollars?" Well, Bill is playing a completely different game. With his wealth, he could buy every single car in your traffic jam, turn them all into a giant, moving art installation, and still not miss the payment on his electric bill.
Remember that time you splurged on a fancy coffee and felt a little guilty? That's like Bill buying a small country’s entire coffee harvest and using it to fuel a coffee-powered rocket. A rocket that he probably helped design to solve world hunger.
