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.
