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?
