Exactly we think we know how rich they are but don't grasp how much it really is.

For example if you would make million a year you would think yourself as being rich. Now to get to 500 billion, musk has, you would have to work 500 thousand years.

There's no good reason anyone would need that much money.

    Well he’s got well over a dozen children. Think of how small $500B must feel when split amongst the entire litter.

    I feel sorry for him, personally. Praying he gets to $1T soon.

    Can’t believe this is necessary: /s

    I mean, there's a substantial difference between his level of wealth and a billionaire. He also generally works for it himself rather than living off stolen labor value and capital accumulation.

    It's probably still too much but it really isn't the problem.
