The wealth gap between just being a millionaire and being a billionaire is so unfathomably massive.

Millionaires are believable in a single lucky lifetime, but billions? One thousand millionaires in one person?

The Harry Potter books have sold over 600 million copies. Of course there were a lot of people involved, but I think nowadays with digital self-publishing, it could be possible to have a book series that sells millions of copies while only requiring the labor of a handful of people.

dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
