Jeff Bezos Briefly Overtakes Bill Gates As World’s Richest Person | TODAY

The math doesn't add up.
The video claims he earns $60 million a day and then goes on it states he earns $44, 668 in "about an hour".
$44, 668 times 24(hours) = $10.7 million a day.
Quite a bit off.

I believe they confused "one hour" with "one minute"
If you follow his earning per second, $694secX60=$41, 640.a minute

$41, 640 a minute, not an hour.
In actuality, he's earning $2, 498, 400 in an hour.

$2, 498, 400 x 24(hours) = $59, 961, 600 million a day - just as the video claims.


Today show messed up.

It's a race to the top let's have a race to the bottom also the this so called giving by these wealthy ones is a tax offset against income They Are Not Giving Any Away.
