How Big is $1 Million in Cash?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

Yo gamers! Today we‘re getting crazy and breaking down what one million dollars, aka 1M stacks, looks like in real life cash money. Get ready for some mind-blowing gaming economics!

First, answering the question directly: $1 million in crisp $100 bills would stack up to be about 43 inches tall. That‘s almost the size of a 3-year old kid!

Alright, buckle up buttercups…here‘s the down-low on $1 mil according to your boi economist gaming guru:

Dimensions of $1 Million Bucks

  • In $100 bills, $1 million weighs about 22 pounds – easy to lift for epic quest treasure!
  • The height stacks up to 358 feet if the whole $1 mil is all $1 bills. We talking a 30-story building here people!
  • If it was all $20 bills, the total weight shoots up to 110 pounds of cold hard ca$h money

I don‘t know about you, but carrying that much loot just gives me that money bags emote feeling, you know?

Now check this out…if the government wasn‘t lame and still allowed $500 bills, then $1 million would weigh a tiny 4.4 pounds! That‘s like 2 gallons of milk. So easy to transport and get that illicit cash flow going, just saying.

But don‘t get shady on me now my gaming peeps. Let‘s level up and see what being a millionaire is all about…

Millionaire Standards and Stats

Sure a million bucks sounds nice, but having a $1 million net worth apparently only cracks the top 10% richest people globally. And the standards to be a real baller rich muggle are #surprising:

  • Number millionaires worldwide in 2022 was 62.5 million (#moneyface)
  • You need about $5 – $10 million net worth to be considered "very" high worth
  • But the ultra-rich? They be on $30 million ya‘ll. Thirty. Million. Dollars.

See, $1 million don‘t sound so cray now right?

Heck, with average yearly spending of $40k, $1 million would only last you 20 years if we account for 3% beastly inflation gobbling up your stacks over time.

I don‘t know about you, but I clearly need more gaming economics videos to get my count up! Who‘s down to grind some treasure raids with me? 🤑🤑🤑

Well it turns out cash money is still da bomb for shady activities since it‘s:

  • Easy to transport even in large dollars
  • Totally anonymous for the smart shadow boy

I mean c‘mon, briefcases and duffel bags of money?! Say no more fam, let‘s get this offline, off-book money train rollin‘! 💰💰💰💰
