The post is a comparison to what that money means to a billionaire vs how life changing it would be for most people.

It's kinda good if the rich guy buys a fancy bottle, giving the restaurant enough revenue to cover a few days' worth of cost.

It's probably better if instead someone can be done with paying hundreds of dollars each month on loans with a worse interest rate than my last car payment.
