    No dude you mixed some numbers up - 5%/yr of 440 billion is 22 BILLION dollars per year.

    Unless you meant he could put 0.1% of his wealth (440 mil) to pull 22 million a year.

    In fact, he could put less than half of his total net worth, 200 bil, into a basic savings account returning 0.5% a year and live off of a billion dollars a year, which is equivalent to the median income of 16,666 others.

      While you were writing this comment I was updating my original comment because I messed up! Correct: 22 BILLION.
