How Rich?

It would be good if I could figure out how to embed this, but I can't - and it's possible the people who came up with it are smart enough not to give me the chance.

I got ridiculously lucky and made a few million dollars in my career. If you take all that money and make a stack of 100-dollar bills, it would be about 10 feet tall.

If you take all of Jeff Bezos's money (let's be really conservative and say $150 billion), and you make a stack of 100-dollar bills, it would be over 100 miles tall.
