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
