It still takes 40 years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 1 point 1 year ago No it doesnt. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children) The S&P doubled in the last five years and more than tripled in the last ten. Pocket $20M of that $26M, at $1.6M/mo, while earning around 15% yoy ROI and you're looking at $400M inside a decade. Compound interest is propelling already-rich people into the stratosphere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) 15% yoy is too generous. S&P has averaged 10% p.a. over the past 100 years. But yes, compound interest brings the billion target ($20M pocketed @ 10%) down from 40 to 18.8 years. But remember, the average CEO tenure is about 7.5 years. Getting to a billion through a salary only is very difficult. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago Sooner or later he would have been offered the CEO position of a big health tech start-up, it would have grown for a few years, than either gone public or sold for several billion, and he'd be the Billionaire he was angling to be. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 year ago He was making that much now, but his salary would have increased steadily, as his immoral policies brought in more profit by murdering their customers.

Spiritually he was a billionaire. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dankm@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago That's just direct income. With that kind of money, investments and other income streams become possible. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Briguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago You're assuming his pay would remain the same and zero investing for the next 40 years. It would take less than 10 if he invested right and saw pay increases permalink fedilink source parent
