Saw this posted the other day. After reading, I had to pickup my mouth from the floor.

I took a screenshot.

Not sure what's more exciting, being a dead millionaire, or an 111 year old millionaire that still is living and breathing. Nonetheless, I have to wonder, are people this f*cking stupid? Are you so blinded by the prospect of having millions that you can't do simple math? How on earth can someone take this seriously?

And my analysis is also very forgiving -- I assume a 16 year old had $500 bucks to invest in 1919. More than likely he doesn't. So in reality, you're probably 121 years old.
