Personalities thrill me. They let us know & reveal that things are possible and the extent to which we can go as well as red lines that should not be crossed. This week's episode tows this line. I think about the richest men ever in history and this man is definitely up there. Matter of fact, he is widely regarded as the second most richest man of all time & the richest man in modern history. His personal net worth was estimated at 900 million US dollars, almost 3% of the GDP of the US in 1913 [crazy!] To help with perspective in the 21st century, this amounts to 423 billion US dollars as at 2020 with inflation factored in. What characterized his life & time. Koker (a Nigerian musician) said "Money change many things, money turns some lives around..." I totally agree. Feel free to share this. Enjoy every bit of it!😊
