Nothing. If you were born in 1AD and earned 1,000,000 every single day without spending a single penny you still would not be a trillionaire today. He will never spend that wealth , he will use that money to get loans that he does not owe taxes on, using that money to acquire even more capital. He has stated his goal is 10 trillion. At no point along the way will he use his wealth or influence to directly improve any common person's life. He is a cancer on our planet, on our economy, and on our civilization.

Its only been 738,715 days since 1/1/0001 so this checks

My calculations make it 739,802

Baseline: 2025 * 365 = 739,125

Leap years: Floor(2025 / 4) = 506 - floor(2025 / 100) = 486 + floor(2025 / 400) = 491 (every 4th year except every 100th year with the exception of every 400th year)

1st of Jan 2026 to 5th of July 2026: 186

Total: 739,125 + 491 + 186 = 739,802

Fixed, it was a typo

Did you account for the switch from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar?

Don't worry if you didn't, this has tripped up a number of apocalyptic religious cults as well, they had to rewrite their time tables to Doomsday when somebody pointed it out to them.

But yeah, basically, 10 days got wiped out of conceptual existence in the uh, great time refactor of 1582. ... and more confusingly, it wasn't like, globally adopted at the same time, so, sometimes, in some places, adoption resulted in the nullification of 11, 12, or 13 days.

No, I used the proleptic Gregorian calendar, so if you want to count sunrises you can just add 10 days. Historians use it for simplicity and accept the drift.

I hate that we've had to change this calculation from a billionaire to a trillionaire. Both are fucking disgusting numbers.

Also, I swear to God if anyone mentions compound interest I'm gonna strap you to one of Elon's exploding rockets.
