WW is a simple blog post featuring a photo which conveys a message that speaks for itself without using words.
For all the rule breakers, of which I am one, please feel free to add all the words you want.

Million vs. Billion

Love all the clocks! And that is quite a staggering difference. 😲 According to Forbes, there are 3428 billionaires worldwide. Here’s hoping they use some of that vast wealth for good. Thanks for hosting the WW linkup, Sandee. Wishing you a beautiful day! 🤗
It is my wish too. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Debbie. Hugs. 🙂
very cool 🙌🙌 loved it!
It’s such a huge difference. Mind boggling. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Interesting isn’t it……and that clock face montage is really “artsy” !!
Hugs, Pam
I loved that montage too. Very artsy. Happy WW and rest of the week. A hug to you and lots of scritches to Teddy. 🙂
I had no idea there was such a huge difference
I didn’t either. It’s a huge difference. Happy day and rest of the week, Ann. 🙂
Interessante diferença e belos relógios mostrados! beijos, lindo dia! chica
Interesting difference and beautiful watches shown! Kisses, have a lovely day! Chica
I agree, Chica. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Interesting Sandee…it makes us wonder what time it is, when one is born as a billionair😹Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and Week ahead to you, Zane and your wonderful kitties too🐾😘💞
I can’t imagine having that much money. Just can’t. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to your wonderful Granny. 🙂
I like the image and projects with gearwheels. No idea when I start this.
I can not imagine these amounts of money. It’s a sort of science fiction for me!
Happy WW, dear Sandee! Hugs and love!❤️😘
It’s the same for me, Suzana. I’m happy with what little I have. Happy WW and rest of the week. Love and hugs. 🙂
That’s a cool image of all of the clocks. I agree with Debbie’s comment, and hope they use all that wealth for something good. Happy Wednesday. Hugs.
I’m sure many do wonderful things. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Eugenia. Love and hugs. 🙂
Seconds are so small we never think much about them unless we need every one of them in a nose work search! Love all the clocks in the photo.
You’re right about that. I love the clocks too. Very artsy. Scritches to the precious pups. 🙂
That’s amazing, Loved the clocks pic.
Loved this post.
It is amazing and I had no idea of the vast difference. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
It looks so pretty. Someday a real rain will come and wash the scum from the street.
Nowadays it doesn’t take as much to become a millionaire…which I’m not! Thanks for the “Visual” of the difference.
Not a millionaire either, but you’re right about that. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Interesting picture. I’m over 2 billion seconds old. Does that make me rich? 🤣😎🙃
No that makes you old like me. You made me laugh out loud. 🙂
That’s a great explanation. Like the picture, too.
I thought so too. Happy WW and rest of the week, Alana. 🙂
Sandee what a wonderful WWW
I never knew. I learn lots here
Hugs Cecilia
I like Wednesday’s to be a learning day. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
“Time is on my side”
Well said. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
That is a big difference. Thanks for hosting. Have a great day. XO
A huge difference. Happy WW and rest of the week, Ellen. Scritches to the kitties and a big hug to you. 🙂
Wow! That’s a great illustration between a million and a billion!
It sure is. I was very surprised. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
That sure is an interesting way to sum it up!
It sure is and I was most surprised by the difference. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
That’s quite the difference!
I had to read it twice to make sure I was reading it correctly. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
I think we often don’t realize the incredible difference between a million and a billion and a trillion (which would be 31,709 years).
Even more mind boggling. Thanks for adding to this. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
We always learn something from you!
I try to do a tidbit of learning each Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
I love this! LOL 😀
Love and hugs, my sweet friend.
I did too. Love and hugs back, my wonderful friend. 🙂
I love you my Forever. Your Loving Husband.
I love you too my Forever. Your Loving Wife. 🙂
That is a great bit of information and comparison that I did not know. It is amazing how time is also our wealth. I love the photo, superb.
Happy Wordless Wednesday, dear friend.
Much love, hugs, and peace to you!
I agree. I hadn’t thought of it in these terms until I found this comparison. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, my sweet friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
Thank you dear friend for your kind regards
Love all the different clocks. Great pic. Happy Wednesday!
The photograph just went with this tidbit of information. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Yvonne. 🙂
Wonderful photo of clocks ~ big difference between a million and a billion ~
Hugs and love to you from me and Ziggy ~ ^_^
an artist reflects
Big difference indeed. I had no idea. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
I’m going to come down on the side of the apostle Paul when he wrote, in Philippians 4:11, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” I am perfectly okay with not being a billionaire. Have a blessed week.
Hubby and I have a saying. If you don’t have enough money you worry about money. If you have lots of money you worry about money. We are comfortable and don’t worry about money. I’m with you. 🙂
It will be helpful for each of those billionaires to share some with the rest of the world in a meaningful way.
Thank you, Sandee, for the weekly linkup party. Happy #WW.
My entries: #42+43
Hope you will join ES #WW https://esmesalon.com/wordlesswednesday/ NOW OPEN
I’m sure some do. I hope they all do. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. Thank you for all you do. Hugs. 🙂
I did not know this about seconds ! It amde me think about money–thedifference between a million dollars and a billion dollars! Just think of all the good things in the world that a billion dollars could do.
I hear you. Something to ponder. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Pat. Thanks for linking up. 🙂
Amazingly, your image of all those clocks made me think of my grandma’s cuckoo clock! I remember the little red bird coming out on the hour to cuckoo 🙂
Thank you for the memory, priceless! I shared 45 and 46.
All the best.
My mother had one of those clocks. I remember waiting for that bird come out too. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
I am fascinated by mechanical clocks and their gears!
And quite a perspective to keep in mind. Another way to look at it: a billionaire is 1000x richer than a millionaire, while a millionaire is at best only 50x richer than the poverty line in the US.
Well said. Love your take on this. Thank you. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Interesting comparison! Being a millionaire would be awesome, but can you imagine being a billionaire? That’s just unbelievable the difference. My brain really can’t wrap around that kind of money. Although, I’d certainly like to try. 🙂
I’m happy where we are now and wouldn’t want others in my business if I were a millionaire. Love and hugs, Cathy. 🙂
Wow, that really puts things into perspective. And makes my head spin when I think about the multi-billionaires. They could and should work on solving our world’s problems. Thanks for linking us up. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
They should. I think many do, but not enough.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and a big hug to you. 🙂
I’ll take the latter, please. That’d be a good inheritance to leave the kiddos. 😊
It sure would. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. Hugs. 🙂
And every second counts!
It sure does. With money or without. Happy WW and rest of the week, Lydia. 🙂
Pretty astounding, isn’t it. Hugs to you and I pray you both have a great rest of your week. Scritches to Lil’ Bit and Squeaker.
I was shocked. I had no idea. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
As a kid, the idea of an infinite universe kept me up at night sometimes and almost made me queasy. Silly, huh? And this is worse. LOL Have a blessed week, my dear.
You’re right about that. It is worse. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Hugs. 🙂
Yikes…those are some mind boggling figures!! Thanks for putting it into perspective, Sandee
They are indeed. I was amazed. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Love and hugs to you and scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
Wow, that is a big difference! Thanks for sharing this really great explanation, Sandee. Happy Wednesday!
Huge difference. I was amazed. You’re welcome for the sharing. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
We have such a good TIME with you!
I’m happy about that. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
A million seconds feels manageable, like a long vacation, but a billion seconds stretches into an entire generation!
Happy Thursday, Sandee!
You’re right about that. I hadn’t thought about this. Amazing. Happy day and rest of the week, Veronica. Hugs. 🙂
Sorry we didn’t post this Wednesday, real life intervened
I get that. Not a problem. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Sorry we didn’t post this Wednesday, real life intervened
Life does that from time to time. No worries. Happy day and weekend. 🙂
Wow, I’m over 2 billion seconds old!
That makes two of us Keith. It’s all good. 🙂
As if I don’t have enough crap in my life, I once started to collect clocks. I made myself stop. Being retired, who needs all those clocks.
You’re right about that. Happy day and weekend , Pam. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Interesting information, not that we’ll ever see either one of those statistics! haha Happy Friday and weekend <3
Age yes, money I will never see. Happy weekend, Barbara. 🙂
Wow, amazing picture and the stats are brilliant!!! MOL Thank mew so much for adding our links, Sandee, mew are EPIC!! We hope mew have a pawesome weekend! 😻🐾😻🐾😻
I thought so too, my friend. Scritches to the kitties and a big hug to you. 🙂
