These TikTok videos use rice to visualise just how wealthy the richest people on Earth are

We are all aware of how rich the likes of Jeff Bezos but actually understanding how much money the wealthiest people on Earth actually have is only eye-opening once it is visualised.

To do this we're not going to show you literally piles of money but take you on a trip to TikTok to watch a man counting grains of rice. Yes, really. Please bear with us and we'll explain.

In a video made by YouTuber Humphrey Talks, he explains the gargantuan scale between a billion dollars and $100,000.

In the clip, Humphrey visualises this mass difference in wealth by assigning $100,000 to a single grain of rice that distributing that to represent each man's net worth.

Unsurprisingly, the results which took Humphrey 12 hours to figure out, are jaw-dropping.

This video has since become a viral tweet after a user compared it to the gulf in wealth between the Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders (net worth $2.5 million) and Mike Bloomberg (net worth $59.6 billion).

How about if we actually took a look at a visual representation of the amount of money that Jeff 'the richest man in the world' Bezos has, who has a staggering net worth of $121.3 billion.

This took a lot more rice than his previous experiment and the resulting $121bn weighed 58 pounds and was so deep Humphrey could stand a keyboard in it upright.

Humphrey did add that five families would be receiving the unused rice so it wasn't a complete waste. Good man.

If only Bezos was so generous.
