One Trillion Dollars

pallet_x_10000.jpg

Conceptualizing a trillion dollars is difficult for most of us, so someone rendered a 3D picture of what a trillion dollars would look like.

This particular rendering was made through Google SketchUp, Google’s 3D modeling software. Measurements were taken of a $10,000 stack of $100 bills (just half an inch thick!) and pretty much multiplied from there using simple geometry. In that trillion dollar shot, each pallet holds $100 million…and the pallets are double stacked.

Check out the little guy on the left for scale.
