Default Jeff Bezos $172 B.

Jeff Bezos net worth is now $172 billion, which sets the record for the world's richest person. I'm trying to put into context how much that can buy.

You could buy every MLB team ($55 B), every NHL team ($20 B), every NBA team ($57 B) and still have enough to buy about half of the NFL teams.

How to you put that into context as to what that can buy? Have fun with it.

On top of it all I'll bet he doesn't have to pay for his Prime subscription.

That's about $72B more than most people would need. Now he's just showing off.

I'm going to guess the belongings of at least 1 billion of the poorest people of the planet.

Or 3,000 of Kurt's guitars.

Pizzas for the world!

Actually, the equity issues are obscene.

Though, it all equals and evens out in the end.

Both Jeff and I will be dust after our flashes in the pan.

We have soooo much in common!
