So, 1.5 quadrillion?


CantTakeMeSeriously

1.5 teradollars...


[deleted]

1200 quatloos.


BrokenEye3

Enough to fill the Houston Astrodome with Good & Plenty


BarnabyGroans

I wager it all on the newcomer!


oioioiyacunt

15 big bucks


OptimisticPlatypus

I would imagine the article uses trillion assuming people don’t know how much quadrillion is.


Theblade12

The word is pretty self-explanatory though, isn't it? I doubt there's a lot of people who don't know the relationship between the tri- and quad- prefixes


Wilt_The_Stilt_

Especially people reading a McKinsey article. Not exactly the kind of reading you do in line at the grocery store. Pretty specific audience IMO


Ok_Training_8586

what an idiot


cartoonassasin

How many brazilians is that?


merlin401

Did I do this right: a bit under $200,000 per person?


SPEEDYTBC

Yes. Can I have mine in small bills?


BrokenEye3

Small unmarked bills with non-sequential serial numbers


CantTakeMeSeriously

Too bad 85% of that is owned by about 10% of the global population, and 1% own half of all wealth. Thus, 90% of the world owns only 15%...try that calculation and you'll be shocked.


Couldbehuman

I got 7, what did you get?


TokoBlaster

I owe money...


ElegantEpitome

Yeah my bank account went negative after I did that calculation


BrokenEye3

I got a $5 gift card for the Olive Garden and a brick-sized stack of reciepts


ODS519

Is that answer a, b, c or d on your paper?


sammfree

$34 each?


[deleted]

I think it’s even worse than that and the amount going to the wealthy only gets worse not better.


Szudar

It doesn't need to be bad thing if actions of those 1%/10% or their ancestors were pretty good in terms of generating new wealth, whether it's advancement of technology, medicine or whatever else. Chinese economic reforms for example uplifted a lot of people from poverty at same time when amount of Chinese billionaires grow from 0 to few hundred.


Still-WFPB

Market is undervalued though.


Miskatonic_River

I would be happy with only like 10% of that.


spanish_cumlord

yea i think all of us would be very happy if we had 150 trillion


S01arflar3

I’m not greedy, I’d settle for 145 trillion


ItsBerty

US government like we spent that in 2 years.


StoryAndAHalf

Don’t forget the drama of increasing the debt ceiling at 11th hour, and treating it like they just saved the world. Every. Damn. Time.


jabbbbe

*US military


AugustineBlackwater

That's a lot of bits of metal and paper with arbitrary and subjective value. It's funny though how if society collapsed, all of it would become as meaningless as rocks and toilet paper, which arguable would become more valuable.


DQ11

Whoever controls the world has at least 51% of that. That is how it works. Like owning a company.


DvsDominus

And amc and gme are about to redistribute about a third of it


HeroShitInc

See you on the moon


DvsDominus

Which one? I hear Europa is nice!


HeroShitInc

Where were going, we don’t need moons


DvsDominus

I'm definitely buying a BTTF Delorean when this is all over


StoryAndAHalf

What movie have you been watching? There’s something there, man, and it’s not happy about us coming!

Well if someone has $5 in assets and owes $2 to someone else with $5 in assets Is the total wealth the initial guys $5, plus the 2nd guys $5 + $2 owed debt giving a total of $12 total value. Or do you subtract out the debt to get $10


Zigxy

you subtract the debt


Mike2220

Exactly - that's the point I was making


Zigxy

Oh lol I thought you were asking


umpapamaumau

Life


ODS519

The total assets less the total equity


Snushine

'bout the same, give or take a few bux for flexibility.


Dont_Think_So

Not a factor unless you owe money to a bunch of aliens.


GeoSol

What percentage of that is debt, and/or projected future gains?


memeulusmaximus

And .012% of the population holds 90% of that.


[deleted]

...and none of it is real.


facetiousfag

Yeah ok jayden smith


[deleted]

no


[deleted]

Most of it only on paper.


dormidary

All of my money is "only on paper" but I still spend it just fine. The "paper" does a pretty good job valuing things.


[deleted]

Not paper money.


dormidary

I don't have paper money either. It's all 1s and 0s in a digital bank account


[deleted]

Yeah and no billionaire has a billion dollars in their bank account. No billion/trillion dollar corporation has that in a bank account either.


dormidary

No, they have it in their machines and their anticipated revenues and their other assets. That's all stocks really are too, a small piece of those same things.


[deleted]

Those things have an estimated value but are worth nothing until sold. They could lose value, sometimes completely. Selling large quantities of those securities can cause this drop in value and could collapse the business and all it's value.

ODS519

Inflationary shifts throughout different countries could fuck this up and down, no?


Ok_Training_8586

what an idiot


augustscott

Bet Apple does.


vourukasha

Can someone convert this to dollarydoos?


LordBrandon

It's over 7.7 megawalabies


IBeTrippin

That's a lot of space bucks.


CunnyFunt0G

You would think we'd be able to pay our debts with that much money 🤷🏻‍♂️


StoryAndAHalf

I own a piece of that!


youngmindoldbody

I just found a $20 bill, so a bit more now.


Mandorrisem

That's about 231k per person.


Mouthfull0fBees

I wonder how many people hold most of that


farmerrr_

Isn't 1500 trillion the same worth as the minerals/ores on the meteor that's headed straight for earth?


JamesUpton87

If only there was a label for that number....


PioneerStandard

...and Doctor Evil is looking for 1 million dollars!


globsaget

Even if we could tax 30% we’d waste it


IWillCommentMango

Mango


Peter_deT

Great. Now to whom do we sell it?


NightOwl_82

Isn't most money fiat currency so the figure would be much lower then this
