That's 0,0058 billions.
Barely over half percent of a billion.
With 5.8 million you're richer than 99% of Americans, and it takes 172 times that to reach a billion.
Just to put it in perspective how stupidly rich a billionaire is, and how cruel it is that they exploit everyone else to make that pointlessly huge pile of money even more pointlessly huge.
In the US, all it takes is one major competing illness and that person is right back to zero.
