Visual aid to show the difference between a million and a billion. He walked a million in a minute.. How long do you think it took to get to a billio?

I remember someone telling me the problem with the world today can be demonstrated with a lined sheet of A4 paper.

if you hold it in portrait orientation, and the bottom of the page is £0 and the top of the page is £1 million, most people in the world are below the bottom line of the paper, most people in the UK are pretty close to the bottom of the page. these people could only dream of one day getting up to the top of one piece of paper.
if you pictures Jeff bezos' wealth in the same way, you would have a stack of A4 papers stretching 55km into the air.
you wouldn't be able to see the top.

billionaires shouldn't exist.

How would anybody get their hands on that much A4 paper? So that’s a load of old bollocks
