Trump: Donald Trump and Billionaire

trump: At that rate, it takes 12 days for you to become a millionaire, according to Rabble. But how long does it take for you to become a billionaire Answer 32 years. And yet, try this little quiz you are given a dollar every second, 24 hours a day. Being a billionaire isn't just about being rich; it's about being mind-bogglingly rich -- rich beyond most people's comprehension. What makes this particularly odd is that we're told we live in a time of popular revolt against the elites and that Donald Trump just won the U.S. presidency because of his populism. And yet the mega-fortunes being amassed these days by the newly emergent class of billionaires -- and the enormous influence and control this gives them over our economy and politics -- barely registers as a political issue.
