A BILLION IN PERSPECTIVE

~ Jnana Hodson

By definition, a billionaire has at least a thousand million dollars. There are, by one count, 492 billionaires in the U.S. They and their families would fit in a single hotel, if they’d settle on something less than a suite. Think about that. They own more than half of the nation’s wealth.

  1. hmmmm I am not sure this tactic will work. Trump is billionaire …. Clinton’s net wealth is a mere $31 million.Is voting for a millionaire so much better than voting for a billionaire? That’s the choice the US has!!!

    1. Well, for perspective, think about this: a lot of farmers are millionaires, based on the value of their land. Not that we’d call any of them rich in the usual sense.
