    There is no mathematical way for his work to be worth 5 billion, not even if he had magical powers and turned the whole garden into pure gold in the process. Not if he worked for 500 years straight, every day, without a break.

    A billion is such a fantastically large number people can’t relate to how much more it is than any normal job pays in wages.

      He worked and apparently someone valued his work plus presence plus…😉 For billions. He won it.

      If you can get paid for your efforts, your product, and someone values it, then that’s what it’s worth.
