1. If you earned $10,000 every day . . . 365 days per year . . . from when they were building the PYRAMIDS in Ancient Egypt until TODAY . . . you’d only have about 4% of Elon Musk’s current wealth, which is roughly $420.5 billion.
(Showing the math: Let’s say that’s 4,600 years. With leap years, that’s about 1,680,150 days. Multiply that by $10,000, and you get about $16.8 billion. That divided by Elon’s $420.5 billion is 4%.)
(Even if you made $10K an HOUR, for 24 HOURS a day, 365 days a year, across 4,600 years . . . that’s still just over $400 billion. Elon still has you by $20-ish billion.)
2. It takes 60 tons of paint to cover the Eiffel Tower, which is the weight of about 10 elephants.
3. There’s only one country in the Americas where more people speak a native language other than the language of a country that colonized them. It’s Paraguay, where 90% of people speak Guarani and 87% speak Spanish.
4. No one knows exactly how the Academy Awards started being called Oscars.
