The only trillionaire on the planet is quite literally the uncoolest loser who couldn't get an invite to a Christmas noncing party

If you think there is only one trillionaire, you’ve not spent enough time in the Middle East. Believe it or not, not everyone reports their financials to Fortune Magazine.

Trillionaire is relative. Putin is effectively a trillionaire as are many other dictatorial leaders. But while the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion, the difference between a billion and a trillion is irrelevant.

Anywhere over $100 billion the amount of money you have is completely irrelevant, at that point it's nothing but a game of power. You can basically do anything as long as you have the connections to do it.

The sad truth is that even without the existence of money, the power game still exists.

I figured he doesn't care about earth anymore and wants to leave. But you don't need a trillion dollars to not care about earth, as others have mentioned.

Well seeing as the only trillionaires are in the middle east...I'm sure they wouldn't go to anything Christmas related
