Comment on Scrooge mcduck discovers bankruptcy
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.sdf.org 7 months agoNow adjust for inflation. The comic was published in 1989. $1 then is $2.48 today. That’s a cumulative price increase of 148.22%, or an average price increase of 2.71% per year for 34 years. It is 4:30am, I am on a shuttle bus, and I am not showing any signs of going to sleep anytime soon.

The total of all world assets is somewhere in the realm of $500 trillion. So, McDuck owns around 2,000 times all of Earth’s assets combined.

Of course he also lives in a world with anthropomorphic animals, so it’s safe to assume it’s not our world.

You know, oddly enough, I just started watching The Expanse and it’s actually not all that bad of a show. At least they try to do zero-G right

What an odd way to phrase that lol. The Expanse is one of my favourite shows, and I’ve heard nothing but positivity about it online. The way you said this makes it seem it’s generally considered a bad show…

Inflation is likely higher, since McDuck has way more of the cake than realistic.

He be causing hyperinflation with that money

He rounded down the number for some reason. This is how much money Scrooge McDuck has, $315,576,000,000,000,000. That is with leap years included.

Okay what about inflation
