George Carlin - It’s A Big Club & You Ain’t In It!
George Carlin had a net worth of $10 million at the time of his death in 2008.
Adjusted for inflation that would be $14,653,441 in 2024.
The minimum net worth of the top 1% of households is roughly $13.7 million.
So, Carlin was in the “big club” of the 1%.
I’ve used this example before to try to make people understand your point:
10 million seconds is a little less than four months
10 billion seconds is over 300 years
Q: What’s the difference between 10 million dollars and a billion dollars?
A: Roughly a billion dollars.
