$14,200,000,000,000 in assets that's damn insane

Wait, what comes after trillion?

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Guillotine (in all seriousness though I believe it's quadrillion).

Not to worry there is still plenty of room for growth. I'm looking forward to our first Sextillionaire

It goes even further than that. After vigintillion, you have steps of 10^30 that go trigintillion, quadragintillion, quinquagintillion, sexagintillion, septuagintillion, octogentillion, nonagentillion and centillion, with the 10^3 prefix in the front. If you really need to ramp up further, centillion can be prefixed by any of the other major prefixes, so 10^30 centillion is a decicentillion, and so on.

It's a whole system that I had a hyperfixation on as a kid so I remember it quite well.
