What does 1 Trillion Dollars Look Like?
Written by Mrs Money on March 27, 2009 – 8:07 pm -Have you ever wondered what a trillion dollars looks like? I’ll show you today. Someone forwarded this to me in an email, and I thought I’d share it.
Here’s a $100 bill. I’m sure we’ve all seen one of these.
This is $10,000. It is less than 1/2 inch thick and is composed of 100 $100 bills.
This just happens to be One Million dollars ($1,000,000).
One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) placed on a pallet.
Now it’s starting to look like a lot of money! This is One Billion Dollars! ($1,000,000,000)
And here’s the money shot, One Trillion Dollars ($1,000,000,000,000). Notice the little man in the left corner in red? He’s still the same size. Now the pallets are double stacked. Amazing! How’s that for a bailout?
