Your moment of zen.

Does @JeffBezos make 150,000 a minute, as claimed?

$150,000 x 1440 (mins per day) = 216,000,000
x 365 = $78,840,000,000.

$196b (net worth) X 7% (avg ROI) = $13,720,000,000 + $1.6m (annual salary) / 525,000 mins per yr = $26160.54 per min

That’s just under … 1/2

@JeffBezos 1/6th of her figure, but she’s still right; the plutes have absurd amounts of wealth. 2/2

@JeffBezos .@SRuhle @AliVelshi Of course, the more staggering figure is that @JeffBezos makes (using average ROI of 7%), at least $13 billion a year. For doing absolutely nothing but watching a stock ticker move.

I wish you would try and explain this on your shows, using … 1/2

@JeffBezos @SRuhle @AliVelshi any tortured logic you can, why any human being should be entitled to such grotesque personal wealth, especially when it was extracted from the toil and consumption of millions of other human beings. Try. 2/2
