So to put this in perspective, at an average cost of 10 cents per LEGO this set would cost over 4 million dollars.
At the current brick market rate the 2×1 100$ Money Tile only goes for $0.01 so it would cost around $450,000. And the only known prototype George Lucas lego figure last sold for in the ballpark of $50k;
so grand total to achieve this build is ~$500k
I really appreciate these attempts to help visualize fabulous sums of money. It reminds me of https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
Wow that’s disgusting
Thanks for this. Something about having to scroll, and it being zoomed in to almost everyday scale makes this hit so much harder than graphs with a tiny dot next to the wealth of the billionaires.
It’s insanity.
I’ve been thinking: if we’re a nice kind of government, couldn’t we just print the money we’re going to use to for example, give americans in poverty 10000$ ? This would “just devalue the money the rich people have”, so something about international exchange rates is propably the thing that stops me from mentally circumventing the freedom-based value that we can’t just take money people have earned. really gross food for thought
The biggest problem with that is that rich people don’t actually have massive piles of cash, they have massive piles of stocks. Devalue the currency, and their stocks are worth a lot more actual cash
Kinda crazy how one layer of that is more money than most people will ever have available at any given time, and he has over 25,000 layers
“Kinda”?
It’s insane.
I think millionaires are fine, but billionaires are excessively rich. If literally everything in society was fine than maybe, sure, but until then…
If everything in society was fine, I’m pretty sure becoming a billionaire would be actually impossible.
I calculated it, this looks like 32 x 48 blocks, so a total volume of roughly 15.6 m³. Considering that they’re going to be loose in the box and not perfectly stacked, I’d double that volume. This would result in a box set, if it were a cube, with ~3m sides. The weight would be 10.53 tons.
Love this! Now calculate how much oil is in it such that exactly one USA would invade
Not to be that guy but this is no way to build Lego. There are no connections.
George Lucas has no connections to his fans, so it works
Lol love it
Can you imagine what a Star Trek film will look like with that kind of money?
If there were no billionaires, maybe we could live in a star trek like society, in a world beyond neoliberality.
