Editor's Notes
Ask for 2 kids to come up to front: Ask a young girl to come up and hold a $1 bill – Ask a young boy to come up and hold a $100 bill – Ask the kids which one is richer Then ask girl what she would do with her $1 it if I let her keep it Then ask the boy what he would do with it if I let him keep the $100
Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft) $54 Billion is about 10 times richer than Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) $6.9 Billion
Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) $6.9 Billion is about 10 times richer than Dirk Nowitzki (Mav forward) $18 Million per year times 12 years = $200 million Now even though Zuckerberg is not as rich as Gates and Nowitzki is not as rich as either of them, we can certainly agree that all 3 of them are rich, is just a question of HOW rich they are.
Ask kids to stand up – The girl with the $1 represents what over 1 billion people on earth live on per day!!! (80% of the earth’s population lives on less than $10 per day) Ask the boy to stand up – He represents the average daily income of an American citizen (actual is $127 for 2009) By the standard of dollars everyone living in America is rich! … but of course there’s a much higher standard to measure riches
