If you had a Forbes wealthiest net worth listing of $300,000,000,000 (300 billion), then if you gifted $1,000,000 (1 million) a day

• ... which is about $300,000,000 (300 million) over 1 year
• ... which is about $3,000,000,000 (3 billion) over 10 years
• ... which is about $30,000,000,000 (30 billion) over 100 years

you'd still have about $270,000,000,000 (270 billion) left, rendering your $1,000,000 (1 million) a day gifts as trivial.

If you saved $10,000 (ten thousand) a day since the year 1 AD

• ... which is about 2025 years x 365 days = 739,125 days

you'd have saved $10,000 (ten thousand) x 739,125 days = about $7,391,250,000 (7 billion and change) - a trivial amount compared to a Forbes wealthiest net worth listing of $300,000,000,000 (300 billion).

It will cost about $30,000,000,000 (30 billion) a year to end homelessness* and about $40,000,000,000 (40 billion) a year to end world hunger** by 2030, for a total of $70,000,000,000 (70 billion) - a trivial amount compared to a Forbes wealthiest net worth listing of $300,000,000,000 (300 billion).
