Maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised that Central Park’s land value is estimated at $528,783,552,000. I mean, it is a huge land mass in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

But I don’t know, 1 billion in itself is already a lot to wrap my head around, and to think that Central Park is in the 500+ billion range…man, that’s just too many digits without some sort of reasonable comparison. I don’t know many things worth 1 million, let alone anything that’s worth 500 billion.

But at least the good thing is that if somebody came up to me today and tried to sell me something worth 500 billion dollars, I would now have something to line it up against in terms of value.
