I think that the comparison is a bit flawed in the way that comparing pretty much any of us to one of the super-rich is more akin to comparing a patient in a state of clinical death to the Warhammer 40k™ top-tier warriors, not just pro athletes

If I were to dedicate all my life to sports I would maybe make it into the pro level during the lifespan, even if that would mean that I'd have to choose some sport that allows old people 🌚

I I were to continue working the way I work today and get a hundred times raise in payment, it would take me about 60 thousands of years to get what Jeff has and that is if I don't eat or rent a flat anymore.

That's quite a bit of difference, don't you think?
