    If you were somehow given $5,000 per day, EVERYDAY since Columbus invaded the ‘New World’ you would STILL not have a Billion dollars (please disregard interest and inflation).

      I prefer if you were given a billion dollars at birth and were a fraction of that for every day of your average 75 year lifespan you be receiving a bit over 36 thousand dollars every day.

        Elon Musk has a “net worth” of about $430,000,000,000. If that were paid in installments every day of a 75-year life, it would be an income of about $16 million a day.
