Topic | If Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark where real people, they wouldn't even be that rich |

Bruce Wayne has been described as a trillionaire in some storiesYou know, it's kind of a sad commentary that when I was a kid (and even afterwards), this would have been laughed at as being ridiculously unreasonable, but it's honestly not that far-fetched anymore. Up until the late 90s, no one had even managed to amass more than $25 billion (and even if we adjust for inflation, the world's richest man only held $20 billion to $40 billion for the entirety of last century, aside from Henry Ford in the 40s). Now we have multiple people with net worth north of $200 billion (i.e. a more than fourfold increase in roughly 25 years). Barring a major financial collapse, most of us will probably be around to see the world's first trillionaire. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.
