Topic 1:  Establish what constitutes a billionaire in comic and in reality.

  • In countries that use the short scale number naming system, a billionaire is someone who has at least a thousand times a million dollars, euros or the currency of the given country. Many national currencies have, or have had at various times, a low unit value, in many cases due to past inflation.
