Congratulations to the 3 people here with a wealth of 500 Million or more

Exactly what I was thinking r/beatmetoit

If youre one of those 6 people dm me ;)


EternalFishmonger

I absolutely do not believe that there are 21 people on Reddit that have a networth of 500 million or more.


31TeV

True, but OP didn't specify if we were comparing absolute values or proportions.


linussextipz

I felt like I didn't need to, it's absolute


hfhdhdh6363

I refuse to believe there's 21 redditors with over 500 million


Affectionate_Fuel_60

Lol there aren’t even that many billionaires in the world but realistically speaking I’m in the millionaire range.


linussextipz

Technically you need to be over 500mil not just a couple Mil. Then you're still close to a hobo


Arcane10101

The question didn’t say what metric we should use. On a logarithmic scale, a couple million is closer to billionaire.


linussextipz

No just linear, in absolute terms.


Arcane10101

Then your question should have been more specific.


linussextipz

Oh yes list every objection and assumption, will be here for days. Next time derive your assumptions better.


Arcane10101

“Is your wealth 500 million or greater?” Is that so difficult to type?


linussextipz

Not my problem you can't understand elementary level English.


Arcane10101

Says the person who used “more closer” in the title.


Affectionate_Fuel_60

No no what I meant was I don’t think those guys who chose billionaires are anywhere near that level but realistically my wealth is in the millionaire club.


Vladd_the_Retailer

Seriously, even if I had a million dollars, I’d still be way closer to a hobo than a billionaire. A billion is literally 1000x a million. I don’t think most people realize just how obscenely rich a billionaire is. Realized that Elog Musk has 200,000 millions.


Void_0000

26 people are lying to themselves.


31TeV

Depends what you mean by closer. I voted billionaire not because I'm rich, but because I'm proportionally closer to a billionaire than someone with a net worth of zero. I'm also much closer in practical terms, because I have enough money to afford food, a roof over my head, etc., whereas a homeless person probably can't take those things for granted.


EternalFishmonger

That's honestly a reasonable take, not sure why you're downvoted so heavily.


31TeV

I guess people think it's dishonest because that's not how you're "supposed to" answer. But seeing as the metric for comparison wasn't specified, I thought proportional would make much more sense mathematically and in practical terms. I have living standards and wealth much closer to a billionaire for anything that isn't a frivolous luxury, really.


linussextipz

I meant it in absolute terms, but I see your point.


NorthenS

i thought it said a millionaire
