Which is easier: Turning $100 into a milli, or turning a million into a billion?

[marcuz]

I voted for 100 into a million. We have thousands of pro athletes that became millionaires but only Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan were able to generate a billion dollars. You have Fanduel, Draftkings,casino sportsbooks, lottery scratch offs and regular lottery tickets that can all turn your Benjamin Franklin into a million dollars. Going from millionaire to billionaire sounds harder.

it probably is easier to turn 100 into a million, but your example aint it. this thread is about investing money and it turning into something more. not being a sports athlete (which still cost well over 100 bucks)

The math of this question is dumb. 1million is 10000 hundreds
1 billion is 1000 millions


The latter is the answer based on that alone...but even if even the layer still the answer

100 into million i think is easier. my reasoning is that

1. if you have the same knowledge in both situations, the types of hustles people will come up with to seperate you from your money will be more "common" and known to you if you have the million. billion dollar congame will be more sophisticated.

2. On the stock market, generally when you're smaller, you have more room and opportunity to grow. more options to double up. the bigger you get the less investing options you have that will be worth it.

You're such a good poster. I can't believe you posted the nonsense in #2 lol

Trading fees alone would kill your 100 dollars and you won't be able to diversify. You'll lose that money in a second unless you luck up and buy stock options in a biopharmaceutical company that gets acquired forna 50% premium or some shyt. That in itself is a lottery.

shyt....there are stocks out there that have one share equal to more than 100

The more money you have, the more you can make

I think the first mil would be easier. There are tons of millionaires walking around but not too many people are billionaires. If turning a million into a billion was easier then it would stand to reason that there would be a lot more than there are now.

The first million is more likely, the first billion is easiest.....

But that's an opinion from a cat who has neither.
