Marcus Licinius Crassus, "The richest man in Rome" [1], net worth c. 170 million sesterces (five times athletes net worth), "joined Caesar and Pompey in the unofficial political alliance known as the First Triumvirate". Together they got end of Republic. That worth a lot. Lets return to "the richest man in Rome". Jeff Bezos, richest in USA, net worth $114 billion [2]. Is it enough to join triumvirate, influence senate? Donald Trump net worth estimated $3.1 billion, but he is party representative. How much is party supporters net worth? [4] lists $143 billion, $82 billion - families controlling Walmart (about $150 billion net), Johnson & Johnson (about $100 billion)... About same Gaius Appuleius Diocles, net worth 35,863,120 sesterces. About fifth of Crassus. Assuming Rome had same inequality as in USA: 35,863,120 / 170 million * $114 billion = $24.05 billion Original posters estimate $400m * 5 = $2 billion Assuming [8] New Yorkers grocery expenses should be $10-20/month. They would revolt. Or city should be about Tallahassee and that's not the power they compare with [9].
