Just a random tidbit....shocking factoids!

If Bill Gates took his 50 billion of net worth and converted it all into 1oz U.S. gold eagles, he would still have almost 3 billion dollars in FACE value!!

Just a mindboggling random thought.

If he converted everything into MS 65 gem common date seated dimes (at $575 a pop), he would still have well over 8 million dollars in face value!

BUT, he still wouldn't have MY 81-S Morgan dollar.........

If he converted everything into gem MS 65 Stellas (logistically impossible, not enough coins) at about $125,000 each coin, he would still have $1,600,000 in FACE value! Geeeeeeeez!

If he converted it to Lincoln Cents, he'd have...... That hurt just thinking about it.

So the crux of the story is this. IF there were enough GEM $4 Stellas available to buy, he could turn his wealth into GEM Stellas, and use them to buy gas and groceries at face value and still be wealthier than all but the top 5% on these boards!


Edit: Thats assuming that 1 of every 20 forumites here has a net worth of more than $1,600,000....which could be a whole 'nother thread in itself.

Can I sell him gas or groceries just once?

Can anyone figure out how much face value he would have if he bought as many (lets say there is an unlimited amount of pieces) chain cents at $40,000 each that he could with his 50 billion?

He looks like a coin collector, though. Bet he's got a few tucked away.
Thankfully he and wife Melinda (ain't she cool, just a real girl, not some trophy wife) have set up an outstanding foundation to give those Billions away, mostly for education.
