Musk topped the 2022 Global Billionaires List, and poverty limits my imagination!

Just yesterday, Forbes released the 2022 global billionaire list, and Musk surpassed Bezos to successfully become the world's richest man.

The list shows that due to the impact of last year's global stock market shock, the number of people on the 2022 Forbes Global Billionaires List decreased by 87 places from last year to 2668. While the total wealth of this year's list reached $12.7 trillion, it is down from $13.1 trillion last year. Among all the richest people on the list, the number of richest people in the United States is 736, ranking first in the world. Among them, Elon Musk ($219 billion) and Jeff Bezos ($171 billion) ranked first and second, respectively. In addition, two Of China's richest people ranked among the TOP25, Zhong ranked 17th with a wealth of US$65.7 billion, and Zhang Yiming ranked 25th with a wealth of US$50 billion.

Seeing this news, Xiaobian can't help but worry about them: so much money, when can it be spent! Sure enough, poverty limits the imagination of the editor!

With this, Musk also bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter, worth nearly $3 billion, making him Twitter's largest shareholder. The news propelled Twitter shares to close sharper than 27 percent on Monday. Previously, he had said on Twitter that he was "seriously considering" building a new social media platform while questioning Twitter's commitment to free speech.

Look, the big guy is so simple and rude, see if you are not happy to buy you directly.

Today, by the way, I will also popularize the English expression of "local tycoons" for everyone~ ~ ~

1、Deep pocket

The literal meaning is "deep pocket", but it actually means "rich".

Deep pocket is used as a noun to mean "wealth, abundant source of wealth".

We need to find some deep pockets to finance our business.

Deep pocket can also mean "rich man".

I want to find the deep pockets who arranged all this.

2、Money is no object

Money is not a problem, when you do a thing, money is no longer a problem, that also shows that you are very rich.

超级例句:Choose whatever you like from the menu. It’s your birthday so money is no object.

Order whatever you like on the menu. Today is your birthday and money is not an issue.

Actually "... is no object" is to mean "... not the meaning of "problem".

For example: Expense is no object. Cost is not an issue. Distance is no object. Distance is not an issue.

I am ready to travel anywhere. I'm ready to travel everywhere. Distance is not an issue.

3、Be made of moneyBe made of money

Made up of money, it means "very rich, with a lot of money".

James must be made of money, judging by what he spends. When you don't have money, you can use the negative form of this idiom.

I know you want the new dress, but the answer is no. I know you want this new dress, but the answer is not to buy it. I don't have any money.

4、Pour money down the drain

This is easy to understand, when you pour money into the drain, it is obviously a sign of "squandering money".

Super example sentence: He's from a poor family. His family was not wealthy, but he spent as much money as water.

Of course, there are also phrases for soil-eaters like Pikachu, looking down at I'm as poor as a church mouse! I'm broke. I'm a little strapped. I've run out of dough. (dough /d/raw dough; money) I run out of money.
