PIC: $143 BILLION in one photo of four people
Someone posted this on Reddit. I don't know who two of the people are other than Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
If you divided that money evenly between them, that would be enough for them to do whatever the hell they want for the rest of their lives, and maybe ten generations of their descendants would never have to work a day in their lives even if you threw in a 50% inheritance tax every generation.
And all those generations of non-workers would have plenty of cash to buy our political system and overrule democracy.
