You've probably seen the Reddit threads. Maybe it was a YouTube video with a scrolling bar chart or a guy counting grains of rice to represent Jeff Bezos' wealth. These visual stunts go viral for one reason: normal people can't wrap their heads around billionaire money. But even those fall short of capturing just how far ahead Elon Musk is.

He's not just rich. He's the richest person alive. As of now, Forbes estimates Musk's net worth at $424.7 billion—mostly from Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI, and every other empire he's casually juggling.

Now let's make this painful.

The median U.S. salary is $61,984. If you earned that exact amount every year—without spending a cent—it would take you 6,851,768 years to match Musk's net worth.

Let that number sit.

For comparison, modern Homo sapiens have existed for about 300,000 years. One of our earliest known ancestors, Australopithecus afarensis—nicknamed Lucy—walked the Earth 3.2 million years ago, according to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. You could have started earning the median salary back then and still be nowhere near Musk's bank account.

The math here assumes annual income, not hourly work. So forget 40-hour workweeks or overtime. This is based on a full year of pre-tax, pre-life, pre-anything earnings, stacked for nearly 7 million years.

It's wealth on a geologic scale.

Sure, Musk's net worth fluctuates with Tesla stock and private company valuations. But even on a "bad" day, he's playing a game that isn't relatable. Most people are worrying about 5% raises. He's watching billions go up or down depending on how Cybertruck memes are trending.

According to Forbes, the planet has 2,781 billionaires—as of their 38th Annual World's Billionaires List published in October.. And even among that elite crowd, Musk isn't just at the top—he's in another financial galaxy. The gap between Musk and the second-richest billionaire is often larger than the total net worth of hundreds of the world's poorest billionaires combined.

So next time you see someone try to visualize billionaire wealth—stretching cash down a highway or stacking rice to the moon—just remember: even those stunts are underestimating it.

And if you're earning the median salary? You're not behind. You're on a completely different evolutionary timeline.

Today I am thinking of my mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, and the many lessons she taught me. I am so proud to be her daughter.

Happy Mother's Day to the mothers, stepmoms, grandmothers, godmothers, aunties, and all the women in our lives who love, raise, and guide us.

WDid you know that historically the KANEM-BORNU Empire was and is still a multicultural society made up of so many tribes including Kanuri, Shuwa Arab, Babur, Arab-Berbers, Marghi, Mandara, Kotoko, Gwoza, Chibok, Ngizim, Karai-Karai, Bolewa, Bade, Guran, Ngamo, Kanakuru, Kamwe, Maga, Bura and others.

Despite their natural differences, they lived peacefully to sustain this thousand years old empire. And today many of the native indigents have excel in their diverse professions in many nations including Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, Chad, Sudan, Libya and Gabon.

The Ewe Leader Who Came Back Riding On Crocodile, After Being Thr.ow.n Into River

Togbe Tsali, a revered figure in Anlo history, was known for his supernatural powers and was a member of the Tsiame royal clan in what is now the Volta Region. He lived during the oppressive rule of King Agorkoli at Notsie. Distressed by the king's cruelty, Togbe Tsali decided to lead some of the people to a new land, Eweland. Transforming into a flying spirit, he surveyed the area and upon his return, assured the people that the land was fertile and suitable for settlement. They agreed to flee under the cover of night, wetting the ground to eliminate any trace of dust that might reveal their escape.

When King Agorkoli discovered their departure, he sent his soldiers to retrieve them. Togbe Tsali, using his powers, confused the soldiers by instructing the people to walk backward, making it impossible for the soldiers to determine their direction. In another version of the story, Tsali transformed into a mouse and altered their footprints to mislead the soldiers.

Upon reaching Eweland, Tsali took up farming and hunting. Using his powers, he cleared a vast area of land in a single day, summoned rain, and planted maize that grew and was harvested all within the same day. Since no rain fell on other farms, the people were forced to buy food from Tsali, causing resentment among them. This dissatisfaction led to a plot to 'off' him.

He was captured and bu.rie.d, but three days later, he was seen walking around as if nothing had happened. Astonished, the people captured him again, cu.t hi.m into t.wo, tied stones to his body, and thr.ew hi.m into the River Volta. Yet, three days later, Tsali reappeared, riding a crocodile on the river. He declared that no one born of a woman could end him.

This event improved his relationship with the people, and he began using his powers for their benefit. Before his de.at.h, Tsali instructed the people to build two shrines in his memory, where they could call on him in times of need.

These shrines still stand in the Volta Region today, where the faithful continue to seek his guidance during difficult times.

Nigeria’s Janet Ekundayo, whose name means “tears turned to joy,” dedicated her life to caring for orphans and abandoned children.

Despite having five biological children, her love for children led her to adopt and care for over 500 kids at the Ekundayo Orphanage Home in Isanlu Makutu, Kogi State, a mission she started in 1969.

Her selfless devotion earned her the nickname Olomo Yeye (someone with many children), making her one of the most influential women from Kogi.

For over 50 years, she transformed the lives of countless children, turning their sorrow into happiness.

In 2009, she passed away, believed to be in her 80s or 90s. Many only learned about her inspiring story when Nigerian singer TY Bello honored her with a tribute video and the song Ekundayo in 2008, as part of her Greenland album.

Mama Ekundayo remains a symbol of love, kindness, and unwavering dedication.
Woman of color and kindness she never bleaches ✊🏿

Leah Wambui owns over 200 houses.
At the age of 16, she was orphaned, with her world seemingly coming to a standstill. She managed to go through her high school education, but could not continue to the University because she could not afford the tuition.

With the free time she had, she decided to get a job.

She started off as a receptionist and after a period of service, she decided to leave after realising she could not make enough to live a comfortable life with her current income. From there, she started a small business where she sold spirits and other beverages.

After some time, she gathered her profits and bought 5 hectares of land in a neighbouring village.

That is how the orphan girl who almost lost hope became a real estate professional and today, owns over 200 houses under the name of her business called Cheriez Properties Limited, each house being worth more than Ksh. 15million.

This is the story of Leah Wambui, a Kenyan real estate guru, changing the narrative of Africa.

Many people have a misconception that Africa has no history, however, studies into history and archeological records has proven that Africa has more rich and great history than what the old historians tried to make us believe.

1. The human race is of African origin. The oldest known skeletal remains of anatomically modern humans (or homo sapiens) were excavated at sites in East Africa. Human remains were discovered at Omo in Ethiopia that were dated at 195,000 years old, the oldest known in the world.
2. Skeletons of pre-humans have been found in Africa that date back between 4 and 5 million years. The oldest known ancestral type of humanity is thought to have been the australopithecus ramidus, who lived at least 4.4 million years ago.
3. Africans were the first to organise fishing expeditions 90,000 years ago. At Katanda, a region in northeastern Zaïre (now Congo), was recovered a finely wrought series of harpoon points, all elaborately polished and barbed. Also uncovered was a tool, equally well crafted, believed to be a dagger. The discoveries suggested the existence of an early aquatic or fishing based culture.
4. Africans were the first to engage in mining 43,000 years ago. In 1964 a hematite mine was found in Swaziland at Bomvu Ridge in the Ngwenya mountain range. Ultimately 300,000 artefacts were recovered including thousands of stone-made mining tools. Adrian Boshier, one of the archaeologists on the site, dated the mine to a staggering 43,200 years old.
5. Africans pioneered basic arithmetic 25,000 years ago. The Ishango bone is a tool handle with notches carved into it found in the Ishango region of Zaïre (now called Congo) near Lake Edward. The bone tool was originally thought to have been over 8,000 years old, but a more sensitive recent dating has given dates of 25,000 years old. On the tool are 3 rows of notches. Row 1 shows three notches carved next to six, four carved next to eight, ten carved next to two fives and finally a seven.

My husband was late from work again, so I went to visit my mom – I froze when I heard strange noises coming from her bedroom.
My husband, Brendan, was late from work again—no surprise there. His job had consumed him over the past few months, and though I tried to be understanding, it was clear we were drifting apart. After three years of marriage, I missed him, I missed us. That evening, I decided to surprise him with his favorite dinner, hoping to remind him that, despite everything, we still had something special.
While preparing everything, I noticed my phone was down to just 10% battery and remembered I had left my charger at my mom's place. She lived just ten minutes away, so I decided to drive over, thinking I’d be back before Brendan even noticed I was gone.
When I arrived, the house was quiet. I stepped inside and FROZE—Brendan’s shoes were by the door. Then I turned pale as I heard noises coming from the bedroom.
I ran toward the bedroom, and when I opened the door, I saw The continuation is in the first comment

Whe the bird is live feeds on insects and when is dead same insects feeds on it.

After telling my mother that I was slèeping with our landlord. I thought my mother was going to be mad at me, but to my surprise she didn’t.

looking at her face, she wasn’t even angry. But rather she said something that made me shock.

“Jessica you know how our condition has been since your father left, do what you can do to bring us money. My mother told me. Leaving me in shock.

I breathe in and breathe out, then I asked her again a question. “Mama are you trying to say I should continue sleepinġ with the landlord?

“Hmmm, why are you asking me that question? I can’t stop you from sleepinġ with our landlord because you are already into it, you took yourself to him without my knowledge. so go on with it and keep bringing in money. My mother said.

At that point I was confused. I thought my mother was gonna shout me or scold me but rather she is motivating me to do more.

I gently stood up from her side and went away. “Maybe my mother is right. I thought. I was already exposed to S£x countless time with my landlord at that young age.

I had a class mate in my school at that time. Her name was Annabel, she was my closest friend in school because I don’t keep friends.

I shared everything with Annabel except my affair with my landlord. I didn’t want to tell her, because I was scared one day she may decide to tell everyone in our school.

But after getting advised from my mother to continue sleepinġ with our landlord, I decided to tell my friend, Annabel, about it.

I went to find Annabel at her place but she was not there. I think maybe she is still at the school. I couldn’t go to school because my mother could not afford to pay my fees.

I waited patiently for Annabel to come back because I was really ready to tell her about my affairs with our landlord and how my mother reacted to it.

After some few minutes, she came back as expected. Annabel was around my age but she live alone without her parents.

I quickly told her everything that has been going with me
