I wonder if you built a bonfire of $100 dollar bills, how tall would $44 billion look like?
29ish miles.
A single bill of US currency is 0.0043 inches thick.
$44bil in $100 bills is 1,892,000 inches, which comes out to 29.861 miles.
That's a stack, not a pile.
/c/TheyDidTheMath ?
There was a Reddit post where they figured out how much money the Joker burned in the Dark Knight, and it was roughly 6.5 billion dollars.
So 44 billion would be about 7 times that much.
In 50s that's 59.7 miles, or just 3 miles shy of the von karman line which marks the edge of outerspace
in 1s it's about 2986 miles which is more than enough to go coast to coast.
