Visualizing A Trillion Dollars


I can't even be cute about this. For those of us who are more visual learners here's what a trillion dollars looks like.

The little red blip in the left hand corner is an adult person. The "boxes" are actually pallets of money.

Stimulus package, my eye! It's a freakin' corn field of money!

  1. Not just money -- those are hundred dollar bills. A half-inch stack of which add up to $10,000.

    I could have my house resided a hundred million times. Or perhaps more realistically, I could buy a half-million dollar McMansion for myself and TWO MILLION of my closest friends.

    And no, I'm not the slightest bit bitter about all that money. You can tell.
