1,000,000,000 x 1,000,000
Or 1,000 million million
Is 1x10^15 or 1,000,000,000,000,000 or 1 trillion I believe.
After talking to some friends of mine, I have found out that a billion means a billion or 1x10^9 in all languages. When speaking with someone from England who has 1x10^9 dollars, they would say that they had a "billion dollars."
You know what's funky about math.....and this is going to blow your mind. .....there are differant types and SIZES of infinity....wicked....sizes....someone just shoot me...

Here's a screenie of me withdrawing what I made in my last 2 days of play back in december. Someone asked for screens /shrug
I'm pretty well broke in real life, but I'm debt-free and nearly finished my degree in computer science. I have no plans to remain broke

I'll admit, I've been hovering around 30 mil lately but it's b/c I've been buying all kinds of loot like RIS armor, BH armor, and that nifty Aurillian Sculpture (1-4) that I was too lazy to go and Jedi-up so I've been spending a lot. And stuff like the Imperial Uniform when I'm a neutral toon? And all the random loots like the Shisha, the Eyes of Mesra, and other random things that are unique but take a toll on one's bank account... I've got all the Wookiee Lifeday paintings, orbs, yadda, yadda (cause I"m a wook, ok?)
But my alt nowregularly runs around in a RIS helm and lives in a Guild Hall and has an AV-21 with a couple expensive combat droids and an FWG (he's a pistoleer) that's really, really, really nice. Does that make me cool already? Please, please, please???
LOL

Cool Thread. I'm not in the running for richest, but I very much respect those who are. I've spent a lot of my cash and given a lot of my net worth to others in my guild and friends, but I still wouldn't be a billionaire. If I sold out tomorrow, probably 2-300 million I'd guess, but that's not gonna happen. I think many people don't understand that playing this game as a business person can be extremely rewarding, it's a dimension of the game that makes it stand above other MMO's IMHO. The ability to have a vision, plan and implement it is something that RL does not afford many of us. I've had great fun organizing companies that employ 20-30 people in SWG and everyone benefitted greatly from it. Some of my guildmates still have no cash worries months after we shut everything down.
Now, if only I'd have gone AS instead of DE/SW
