An interesting analogy that puts it in perspective if seconds were pounds: 1 million seconds ≈ 11.5 days; 1 billion seconds ≈ 32 years! That’s quite a gulf by my reckoning! 400 billion seconds = 12,800 years!!
I'm a capitalist and can't think of any rational reason, other than corruption and influence, why a single individual needs more than £1b when there is so much imbalance, often (not always) generated by luck - to whom and in what country you were born.
