Exxon is worth nearly half a TRILLION dollars... you can't even imagine that kind of money. I mean think about it. If you born today with a bank account with that much money it in and you were to spend one million dollars a day from the day you were born until the day you turned 100 you would only have spent 36.5 billion dollars which means that you would still have 430 Billion in the bank (assuming you made no interest on the money since you would making more then a million dollars a day in interest at this point as well).

Ha...Funny, this remainded me of that movie, Brusters Million where the guy had to spend a million bucks in a Month...or something like that (someone please google this) What a joke now...could do that in 10 min.
