If you made something really worth having and made just $1 profit per unit and sold it to 1/7 of the people in the world just one time each, you'd be a billionaire. https://twitter.com/tylerevansokay/status/1333981441131237376

No wait, let me just break this down for you. If you made, say, iPhones, and you made just $1.38 in profit each on them, which is about a 0.3% profit margin, you'd be a billionaire.

Now let me really put this into perspective for you. If you made Coca-Cola and turned just 0.2¢ in profit per bottle sold, by the end of the year, you'd be a billionaire.

Bear with me here. If you came up with a way to sell and ship products to people via the internet and managed to scrape just 40¢ per *package* shipped (not per item sold), you'd be a billionaire in a year.

Imagine you came up with a web service where people can upload videos and watch videos and you could place ads on the videos that net you 1¢ per play from advertisers. Grow it to YouTube's scale, and you'll be a billionaire again every three weeks.
