Another bit of wealth trivia. Imagine you were the highest paid professional gladiator in ancient Rome at the time of the birth of Christ.
Imagine you were being paid what a top sportsman today earns - £10,000 per day. An absolutely huge amount by any normal standard.
Now let's imagine you are immortal, that you saved every penny you were paid, that inflation didn't exist, and you worked 7 days a week for the last 2000 years. 730,500 days. 28 or so lifetimes
You now have amassed a total wealth of £7,305,000,000. Over 7 Billion quid. And you're still not even in the top 300 of the world's richest people.
