One number on our site isn't arithmetic... We describe wealth ratios at or above 200:1 as extreme wealth inequality. That threshold is ours. It's rounded, informed by a reported global disparity of ≈190:1, and is not an official IMF definition. Don't cite it as one. Everything else is checkable.

Spend $1,000 a day. Every day. No weekends off. $1M lasts 2.7 years. $1B lasts 2,740 years. $1T lasts 2,739,726 years — over 9x as long as Homo sapiens has existed (≈300,000 years). Same currency. Three completely different worlds. Based on Wealth ÷ $1,000 ÷ 365.
