    It'll take quite a while

    If Amazon founder Jeff Bezos decided to splash $1 million-a-day it would take him a shockingly long time to run out of cash.

    As most of us clutch to a few pennies, willing on payday to come around quicker, Jeff Bezos is certainly having no issues with running out of cash anytime soon - and wouldn't be even if he was splashing $1 million every single month.

    As of today (25 July), the founder and chairman of Amazon has an estimated net worth of a whopping $198.6 billion, according to Forbes.

    While the rest of us struggle along amid a cost of living crisis contemplating whether to spend an extra $5 to treat ourselves to a coffee one day, Bezos has the funds to be able to splash not just an extra $5 but an eye-watering $1 million per day if he really wanted to.

    And if Bezos hypothetical spent $1 million every day?

    Well, you would think even one of the richest people in the world would surely run out of money fairly quickly given what a large sum that is to splash in 24 hours.

    However, when you break it down - or rather when we save you the time and break it down for you - you'll realise Bezos would, depressingly for the rest of us, last a lot longer than you can begin to imagine.

    If Bezos did decide to start doling out $1 million every single day, it would still take him around 544 years to run out of money.

    And to think it only takes most of us a month to run out of the measly-by-comparison salary we all get paid.

    However, rather than splashing six-figures a day, Bezo's net worth is used elsewhere, the business magnate said to have a $570 million property portfolio.

    He revealed last year that he's relocating to Miami from Seattle to be closer to his parents.

    Bezos announced the news of his move on social media shortly after purchasing a $79 million mansion on Indian Creek Island.

    The 19,064 square feet property boasts seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.

    Bezos is also quite fond of super yachts and owns a one-of-a-kind $500 million vessel.

    The boat is so big that it doesn't fit into your typical yacht docks, and has to be docked next to 600-foot oil tankers.

    How the other half live, ey?
