The rich in Hong Kong are famous for hiding their wealth. The most typical one is Li Ka-shing, once the richest man in China. In 20 19, he became the richest man in Hong Kong again, with a wealth of $3 10 billion, but his $3 10 billion was not qualified to be the richest man in China.
But in fact, the list mainly focuses on holding stocks of listed companies, while Li Ka-shing's holdings of unlisted companies and various properties and real estate are conservatively estimated to be at least 900 billion yuan. Of course, there are many "invisible millionaires" like Li Ka-shing.
Money may be just a number for the rich, but the rich are only a small part. After all, 99% of people are still rushing for money every day. Ever wonder what it's like to have trillions of dollars in assets?
Many people will think that Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, but this is not the case. The latest Fortune global rich list shows that the richest man in the world is Amazon founder Bezos, whose worth has reached as high as164.8 billion US dollars (about 1. 16 trillion RMB). Even after divorcing his ex-wife and getting more than $38 billion, Bezos still has more money than Warren Buffett. When Bezos became a billionaire, Buffett was worth 30 billion dollars. Bezos is richer than Buffett now. He is one of the 25th largest landlords in America.
We all know the value of 100 yuan, but it is hard to understand what 1. 16 trillion is. In fact, the money Bezos earns is not his own consumption, but the consumption that needs to support the whole population of a family. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Bezos' 1. 1.6 trillion yuan were all withdrawn in cash? We can see from the weight of RMB itself what 1. 16 trillion is. The weight of the new version of 100 yuan is 1.15g, and the weight of1.15t and 1.65438. The average load of train cars is 60 tons, so it takes 222 cars to carry 13340 tons. If it is transported by cargo ship, it needs more than 10 thousand tons of cargo ship to transport it, so maybe everyone will have some ideas.
Secondly, 1. 16 trillion RMB has exceeded the total GDP of Tibet, Hainan, Ningxia, Qinghai and Gansu, and it is very close to Xinjiang. Think about how powerful a person's personal wealth is, which can exceed the total economic output of a province in one year.
If a person has money, he may choose to continue investing to make money. But if a person is rich, he may not choose to continue investing, but put his money in the bank, so he only needs to enjoy interest for life. If you deposit $65,438+0.10.6 trillion in the bank, you will get interest of 5 billion yuan every month at an annual interest rate of 5%.
If the average annual income is 654.38+10,000 yuan based on a person's 40 years of work and life, then the assets in these 40 years are only 4 million yuan. Therefore, the interest of Bezos' personal assets in the bank for one year is equivalent to14,500 people's life value. How do you feel when you see this? Isn't it sad that the income of 14500 people who have worked hard all their lives is only the interest of others for one year?
With a monthly interest rate of 5 billion, you can spend 1 100 million a day. The average person can't spend that much money in a day. Maybe the rich are worried about spending too much money, but the people are still worried about how to make money.
At the same time, it also shows that it is impossible for ordinary people to acquire huge wealth alone, and entrepreneurship is the only choice. However, entrepreneurship is also a difficult road. The winner is king and the loser is the enemy. Many times, we just watch the success of others through the screen, and then we still have to do our own thing in a down-to-earth manner.
When a person's personal wealth reaches a certain level, which is his ideal standard of wealth freedom, then the concept of wealth is limited to a number. Like many rich people, they seek to challenge themselves, change society and benefit mankind. For us ordinary people, there is no need to envy them, live a good life, strive for economic freedom as soon as possible, and reach the realm of not looking at the face and spending money without looking at the price, then you have succeeded. So how do you want to achieve economic freedom?
