For the morbidly curious, there’s now a nifty little calculator to tell you how long it’d take the world’s leading billionaires to make your annual salary. Simply enter your yearly take-home, and find out the minutes/hours/days it’d take such names as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and several more to make that.

Below you’ll find a general breakdown of tax brackets vs billionaires based on the calculator found here.

If you make a respectable $100,000 per year, it would take…

  • Jeff Bezos: 1 minute, 21 seconds
  • Bernard Arnault: 1 minute, 43 seconds
  • Mark Zuckerberg: 3 minutes, 30 seconds
  • Warren Buffett: 6 minutes, 14 seconds 
  • Bill Gates: 13 minutes, 6 seconds 

If you are lucky enough to make $250,000 per year, it would take…

  • Jeff Bezos: 3 minutes, 21 seconds 
  • Bernard Arnault: 4 minutes, 18 seconds 
  • Mark Zuckerberg: 8 minutes, 44 seconds 
  • Warren Buffett: 15 minutes, 35 seconds 
  • Bill Gates: 32 minutes, 44 seconds 
All the cards in the hand of the Omaha Oracle.
