Today, Businessmen & Industrialists are known to be worth billions. When we hear someone’s net worth to be in billions we don’t really understand exactly how rich they exactly are. I mean we know they are super-rich, but exactly how rich?
Well to answer this question, a TikTok star & e-commerce consultant, Humphrey Yang, helped us to understand better with the help of visual representation. He explained, Amazon‘s CEO, Jeff Bezos‘ fortune using rice, which was pretty amazing and impressive.
The 32-year-old from San Francisco created a video where one grain of rice represents $100,000 or approximately Rs 72 lakh. To represent $1 million, Yang used 10 grains of rice. A billion dollars amounted to 10,000 grains of rice. In his video, Yang showed what $1 billion in rice grains looks like compared to Jeff Bezos’s net worth.
Surprisingly, Bezos‘s net worth was $122 billion at the time when the video was made.
The video led to a wide range of responses from the netizen. It has garnered over 5 lakh views on TikTok. While on Twitter, the video has garnered more than 2.7 million views and nearly 30,000 ‘retweets’ since it was shared on Friday.

Many wondered if a single grain of rice would estimate there net worth or not. People were quick to compare the inequality in pay that was enjoyed by the 1% while the remaining are merely making ends meet.
Whereas there were many who were just stunned by the comparison and applauded Bezos’s success with a pinch of envy of course.

He could probably afford to make some minor improvements to workers conditions, right?
