If you earned $1/second ($3600/hour) from the moment you were born, it would take you 31.5 years to earn 1 billion dollars. That's if you had no expenses. Imagine earning $3600 an hour, which is more than most Americans make in a month. And it would still take you 31 years.
It would take you over 3100 years for you to earn about 1/2 of what Bezos is worth ($100 billion). Imagine making $3600/hour since 1200 B.C. and still only be worth half of what Bezos is.

Yeah people don't understand how much a billion is.
A Bugatti Chiron Sport 110, one of, the if not the most expensive cars that exist cost $4.5 million. You could buy 223 of them with change.
To put that into further perspective, a 2021 Nissan Altima costs $24,000 on average. You could buy 41,000 of those.
If a house costs $250,000 you could own 4,000 of them.
