- charlesdm 8y agoA trillion is not a billion $78 trillion = $78,000 billion (or many, many, many times Jeff Bezos)
- jerkstate 8y agoapproximately 561 Bezii
- saagarjha 8y ago> A trillion is not a billion There is a way to get these mixed up: a mis-conflation of the short and long number scales, where a "billion" on the long scale is 10^12 (which, of course, on the short scale is called a "trillion"). If you're curious about this, I suggest you read Wikipedia's article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales
