Watch: TikTok star lays out rice grains to measure Jeff Bezos’s net worth

Yang, who boasts of 244,900 followers on the short-form video-sharing app, usually creates financial literacy videos. To prepare the illustration, the 32-year-old imagined that a single grain of rice represented 100,000 therefore, in order to show 1 million, he counted out 10 grains. He then proceeded to count 10,000 grains out from the lot, to represent 1 billion.

With the first part of the video circulated well on social media, he decided to come up with a second part in which he goes on to estimate how many pounds of rice is needed to estimate 122 billion- which was the net worth Bezos at the time of making the video.

With the help of two large sacks of rice, he reveals that 58 pounds of rice were needed to represent the net worth of the tech giant.

Yang’s video struck a chord with the vast majority and prompted various socio-political discussions on Twitter. Take a look at some reaction here:
