The scale of wealth

[sossujrurl]

If you earned £100,000 a year and paid no tax nor anything else on that, i.e. it went straight into the bank and stayed there it would take just 10 years to get to a million. To reach a billion would take 10,000 years. Jeff Bezos has 10x more wealth than if the first Homo Sapiens started saving £1m per year. That's around the time we left Africa according to current studies.
