RICH and RICHER: Big difference between millionaires and billionaires

It has recently been pointed out to me by a physicist that many people do not realize the vast difference between a million and a billion. A million seconds is only 11.6 days. A billion seconds is 31.7 years. By his calculations, a million $1 bills laid end to end would extend about 95 miles. A billion dollars laid end to end would extend about 95,000 miles. That means that the money would stretch around the Earth at the equator almost four times.
