Financial math is just arithmetic with a footnote about remembering to add a dozen zeroes.

Same as we were taught in school; keep the numbers you work with day to day by using a simple noticing.

Add 1 to 3.654 x 10^11, another billionaire appears!

Their wealth is mathematical inference. None of them have Scrooge McDuck Vaults full of real money.

Tangentially, Paul G Tweeted a few weeks ago about America being “fake”; American cheese was one thing he called out specifically. No one Tweeted back “billionaire wealth.” I had del’d my Twitter years ago, did not seem worth making a new one.

Keep numbers you work with day to day simple by using a simpler notation, is what I meant to type. Thumb band aid is messing with autocorrect by creating the wrong string to begin with
