Wisconsin’s Wealthiest Man is 20 Times Richer than Taylor Swift?

Wealth is a strange word. I've known people who were rich in life, but not with money. In this case, we're talking about pure hard cash though or at least net worth. I have learned that the wealthiest man in Wisconsin is 20 times richer than Taylor Swift or at least he's close.

For these numbers, I'm relying solely on Forbes who have their notorious billionaires list refreshed every year. It's no secret that John Menard, Jr. is the wealthiest man in Wisconsin with a current net worth (according to Forbes real-time net worth meter) of $21.1 billion dollars. This is what it looks like without the zeroes hidden: $21,100,000,000.

I'm gonna take a wild guess that you know who Taylor Swift is.

The most recent net worth I can find for Taylor Swift (who had a pretty good year you might say) is $1.1 billion dollars according to Forbes. With the zeroes, that amount also looks mighty impressive: $1,100,000,000.

Let's do some billionaire math. My Windows calculator says this is how many times John Menard, Jr. is than Taylor Swift...

Let's just call it 20 times even. When you're that wealthy, why not round up?

The Forbes article actually praises Taylor for earning her wealth without a bunch of endorsements, but with profit from her enormously successful music and touring career.

This is just a fun article about perspective. Taylor Swift is arguably the most famous woman in the world, yet her wealth is still just a drop in the bucket compared to the wealthiest people in the world where John Menard, Jr. is "only" the 88th richest.
