To be positively translucent, even someone with $1,000,000 in the bank has 1000x less than the poorest billionaire. For other disturbing facts, see https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/.

Represented as a volume is also great. If I'm not wrong, his wealth in 500€ bills is a 165 m (180 yards) cube. One million is 3 l (a little less than 0.8 gallons).

Which of course is a stupid comparison indicative of economic ignorance, because wealth does not grow linearly for anyone who doesn't stuff their money under a mattress.
