44 Billion Dollars

Warren Buffet bought the US Railroad for $44 billion on Tuesday.  That's the kind of money where you stop understanding what it means.  It's just a lot.

But allow me to illuminate you.  With $44 billion, instead of buying a railway company you could...

- Consume 1.23 billion Big Macs
- Plan, build and run 1 Beijing Olympics
- Buy a Lamborghini Gallardo for you and 220,000 friends
- Fill Yankee stadium 100 times over with cornflakes

What would you do with $44 billion?  If you have that much spare, could you please buy me some milk for my stadium-sized cereal bowls.  Thanks.
