Yes. Your math is correct. My point was never “billionaires good”, but rather the meme is disingenuous. But I guess any time anyone says anything other than “billionaires bad” they get downvoted.
I’m not really sure why you’re being downvoted. I up voted you.
I didn’t actually mean to imply that I disagreed with you. I was just giving some alternative numbers to demonstrate the issue in a more realistic way. I also didn’t think you were implying that billionaires are good just because the example in this post isn’t the best one.
Your point is still not clear to me. It could be interpreted as $5,000 in today’s money every day since long ago. It still is a lot of money per day, even in the equivalent money back then. 5 cents then (or whatever) is what $5,000 feels like today. So what’s your point?

If you are still asking what my point is after my two comments, I think we’re done here.
