yeah but 1.8 mil 532 years ago would have been valued like billions today. so you still need to be a billionaire to become that rich

Not really with that amount of time. Suppose you put away $1,000 a year for 532 years, at 3% you still end up with $225 billion.

The deposits are completely dwarfed by the compounding interest. If you only start with $1,000 and add nothing else but let that original $1,000 compound at 4% you'll have over $1 trillion.

Where are you getting 4% annual compound returns, though? That's faster than the historical growth in global GDP over the equivalent time period.
