Who doesn’t want to end up with as much money as Bill Gates? Being the richest man in the world is pretty impressive stuff and it is believed that he has somewhere in the region of $80 billion to his name. However, how long would it take you to be able to overtake him as the richest person in the world if you were able to earn $1 a second?

The answer is that it would take you over 2,000 years, which is going to be a bit too long for you to see the end result of your attempt. It also shows you just how much money he has to his name and just how difficult it is for anybody to beat him. Perhaps you would just need to settle on less money even though it’s tough to earn $1 a second and to do so every second of the day.
