  This is old, but still very cool. I like to look at it the other way - here are some stats to make Bezos seem poor:

  - Invest $8.30 at 10% interest for 250 years and you're richer than Bezos

  - Jeff Bezos couldn't afford to buy all the houses in Coronado, California (a small island that's approx. 8 square miles of city)

  - If Bezos put tried to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool with gold coins (a la Scrooge McDuck) it would be less than 6 inches deep before he ran out of money
