    I’d argue it’s not the same for wealthy individuals as they can leverage their net worth to borrow cash at low interest rates, but I do see the point you were making.

    As for the initial comment by TeamAssimilation, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say Nvidia’s current ‘worth’ is fanciful. It’s a number beyond any tangible understanding. I can’t even wrap my head around how many trees are on this planet, never mind double that number.

    ‘Worth’ is a subjective word, and I don’t think you and TeamAssimilation were using it the same way. Just because a brick is worth a dollar and someone uses a million of them to build a house, doesn’t mean the house is worth a million dollars - even if that’s what it cost. What if it looks like this?
