For the sake of estimation if we say generously that the lifetime earnings of an average person is $1 million, and it takes 15 seconds for the blue shell to complete one lap (one normal person lifetime income), then from the moment you toss that shell you’re going to be waiting at your games console for 21 straight days before that shell hits Elon Musk to make up for the lapping you over 200,000 times.

This is actually a massive underestimation because the real median lifetime income is much less globally, and I’m only including an estimate of his net worth not his actual lifetime income. I failed to exclude all of his purchases, just as an example of why this is a severe underestimation.

If you do it by net worth and by age and assume you both live the same length of time, you’re gonna be waiting a few months before that shell hits while you wait for it to complete on the order of 1 million laps.

Some Nintendo expert correct me: maybe it only has to catch up at most one lap. Let’s just say it has to close all of the distance just to express how disgustingly wealthy a billionaire actually is.
