Who wants to be a billionaire?

"In Zimbabwe, banknotes issued a few months ago are worth only a fraction of a percentage of what they were originally. The Zimbabwean $50 billion bill is worth 33 U.S. cents; and it takes 1.2 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars to make up about $4,000 U.S."

Zimbabwe introduces a new 100-billion-dollar bank note as the annual inflation rate hits 2.2 million percent.

Mind you, I'm terrible at math. If I calculated this correctly, Mr. Buffet, currently the richest man in the world at $62 billion, would be worth.... $9,393,939,362,000,000!

Now that's a figure I can respect. (and not pronounce)
