Silly Money

When you hear that Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and that he is worth $50 billion dollars it's very difficult to imagine the true scale of that amount of money.

Here is a little calculation we did to put it in perspective. Let us say Bill gets really hungry and wants to order a standard $1 dollar hamburger from McDonald's for every dollar he has. Supposing the 30,000 McDonald's locations worldwide are all waiting and have enough stock to complete the order.

In order to fulfill this order within a year, every franchise around the globe would have to work to produce a hamburger every 18.9 seconds, working around the clock, every day of the week.

Now that's an appetite!
