$310,000,000,000,000,000. Quadrillion is a lot.
Quackdrillion, in this case.
That’s a ducking good joke.
That’s a ducking good joke.
But not so good you have to tell it twice
Now adjust for inflation. The comic was published in 1989. $1 then is $2.48 today. That's a cumulative price increase of 148.22%, or an average price increase of 2.71% per year for 34 years. It is 4:30am, I am on a shuttle bus, and I am not showing any signs of going to sleep anytime soon.
So that motherfucker has almost a quintillion dollars.
What the fuck did he do, conquer Ceres?
The total of all world assets is somewhere in the realm of $500 trillion. So, McDuck owns around 2,000 times all of Earth's assets combined.
Of course, he also lives in a world with anthropomorphic animals, so it's safe to assume it's not our world.
The ducks don't talk to you?
Even when they do, they're not six feet tall and wearing clothes!
So, now the question is which one of us has a problem.
I'm gonna say both of us.
Down with the duck; Ceres belongs to the belters, Beratna
You know, oddly enough, I just started watching The Expanse and it's actually not all that bad of a show. At least they try to do zero-G right
What an odd way to phrase that lol. The Expanse is one of my favourite shows, and I've heard nothing but positivity about it online. The way you said this makes it seem it's generally considered a bad show..
That's because I thought it was going to be bad, but it's actually one of the best shows I've seen in years. I feel bad for missing it when it first came out.
They have the guy from Punisher in it :D Thomas Jane. Ohh, I hope they keep making more and that it keeps being good.
And I hope actual human expansion into space never looks like that.
I think it's been confirmed that season 6 is the last one, at least for now. I really hope they adapt the last 3 books in the future though, I love this series so much
To be honest, I haven't watched season 6 yet despite it having been out for over a year now, cause I don't want it to end 😭
He rounded down the number for some reason. This is how much money Scrooge McDuck has, $315,576,000,000,000,000. That is with leap years included.
Okay what about inflation
Just multiply by 2.48 I suppose
$782,628,480,000,000,000 in today's dollars.
782 quadrillion dollars. That's the United States economy.
Far more. The US GDP is only in the trillions.
IDK why I said United states, I meant the planet. Microplastics must've took over for a second
Still more. The planet is something like 500 trillion.
Inflation is likely higher, since McDuck has way more of the cake than realistic.
He be causing hyperinflation with that money
That man is single handedly funding the Disney cartoons universe
They did the math.
And today specifically, they did the monster math.
It was a graveyard smath!
Nov 1st?
It was still today until I did a sleep. Now it's tomorrow.
Let's see, you posted this about 19 hours ago, starting value was 315 with a bunch of zeros... yeah someone else can do the math, but I think our buddy scrooge will be just fine.
Yeah, this could be done better and would still send a message without unnecessary exaggeration.
Are you suggesting that Scrooge McDuck's net worth is less than $310 quadrillion? Second question: how do you know?
Bro, it's a comic. They're not trying to send a message, it's supposed to be ridicilous.
I mean, THE main character traits of Scrooge McDuck are that he's stingy and absolutely ludicrously filthy rich.
being a billionaire is already filthy fucking rich.
let's replace it with everyone's most hated cunt, the Muskrat estimated networth at 225 billion.
let's say he loses a million every minute, which is let's be honest still a shitton of money, literally life-changing for at least 95% of the planet.
well at that rate of losses 1 million every minute
it would still take him 177 days to lose all his networth.
increase it to 1 million every hour, which is still a very good rate to be losing "money" and it takes him 29 years to lose it.
This is a comic book. For children. Not an economics lesson.
I'd like to see you swim in a giant money bin with less than $310 quadrillion.
It is a comic done for kids. There is no message, except entertaining them and selling comics.
Lol nah, they absolutely have messages and have always had them.
No media can ever be there to have no message and only to entertain. They all have an underlying message whether it's intentional or not because that is how all stories are made comic book or not.
It does get the message through though because it's just about feelings not about some actual danger.
