A visual comparison showing how long it takes to receive $1 million versus $1 billion if handed $1 per second. On the left, it says “11 days to earn $1 million” and on the right, a pyramid of money with text reading “31 years to earn $1 billion.” Below, it says “To reach the wealth of Elon Musk? 666,350 years.” A graphic showing a walking figure moving from Boston to Washington, D.C. as a metaphor for 1 million steps. On the right, a view of Earth with the caption “19 times around the Earth” to represent 1 billion steps. A note at the bottom says “Elon Musk’s wealth = 6,650 times around the Earth.” An illustration of rows and rows of tiny green T. rexes (about one thousand) representing the weight of 1 billion pennies. A small rectangle in the corner compares it to the weight of 1 million pennies with a single T. rex. Red arrows label “The weight of 1 billion pennies” and “The weight of 1 million pennies.”
