Oh he knows them. To him it is basically zero.

His net worth is 100.000.000.000$. The median persons net worth peaks at about 400.000$.

So in comparison what buying Groceries for the average person is when spending 100$; for him is equivalent to the average persons buying groceries spending 0,04¢.

He would have to go shopping 25 times to spend the equivalent of a cent.
