What If Elon & Co. Actually Split Their Billions With You?

Billionaire wealth is wild. Elon, Ellison, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Larry Page together hold roughly $1.59 trillion. Sound insane?

Here’s the thought experiment: if they pooled it all and gave every single American an equal slice, you’d pocket $4,629.78.

That’s roughly:

• A solid down payment on a used car (~18%)
• Two brand-new MacBook Pros
• Or… paying off most of your credit card debt (avg $6,065)

Now flip the script: add every billionaire on Earth ($16.1 trillion total) into the mix, and Americans get $47,007 each. That’s basically a year’s income bump.

Of course, this won’t happen. But it does show how insanely concentrated wealth has become. Makes you think about whether the current system is… sustainable.
