Frequently asked questions
How much money do I start with?
You start with an estimated $1,005,000,000,000 (about one trillion dollars), a rough stand-in for Elon Musk's reported net worth.
Is this real money or a real bank account?
No. This is a satirical browser game for entertainment only. No real money, accounts, or purchases are involved.
Can I actually buy the items shown in the game?
No, the items are illustrative price estimates used for the simulation and are not for sale through this site.
Does the game save my progress?
Progress lives only in your current browser tab. Refreshing or closing the page resets the game, and you can also reset manually at any time.
What does the timer track?
The timer counts how long you have been actively spending in the current session, starting from your first purchase, and clears when you reset the game.
What Would You Actually Do With a Trillion Dollars?
It sounds like a joke question - but it's genuinely hard to wrap your head around. A trillion dollars isn't just a lot of money. It's a number so large that if you spent a thousand dollars every single second, you'd need over thirty years to get through it. That's what this game tries to make real. Not through charts or statistics, but by letting you go shopping.
Elon Musk became the world's first reported trillionaire in 2026, crossing the threshold largely on the back of SpaceX's valuation after its long-awaited IPO. The figure you see here - roughly $1.005 trillion - is a ballpark estimate of his net worth at that moment, based on reporting from Forbes, CBS News, and Bloomberg. It's not a precise number (no one outside his inner circle knows the exact figure), but it's close enough to make the game feel real.
The Gap Between "Rich" and "That Rich"
Most of us have some intuition for what a million dollars looks like. It buys a nice house in a lot of cities. A billion is harder - that's a thousand millions, enough to pay 20,000 median American salaries for a year. But a trillion? That's a thousand billions, or a million millions. It's the kind of number where buying a private jet - a purchase that would define a normal billionaire's splurge - barely moves the needle. You'd need to buy roughly 45,000 of them before you even hit the halfway mark.
That's part of what makes this simulator interesting rather than just silly. When you start clicking through the shop and realize that buying an NFL team, a Paris apartment, and a private island still leaves 99.9% of the fortune intact, something clicks. The scale becomes visceral in a way that reading a Forbes profile never quite achieves.
Why People Love Spend-a-Fortune Games
There's a whole genre of these games online - spend Bill Gates' money, spend Jeff Bezos' money - and they tap into something genuinely human. We fantasize about resources we don't have. We debate what we'd prioritize. We argue with friends about whether a superyacht or a space program is the better use of fictional cash. It's escapism, but it's also a surprisingly effective way to think about value, priorities, and what actually matters to us when constraints are removed.
Some players go full consumption - rockets, mansions, art, every luxury stacked on the receipt. Others try to be strategic, buying assets that would theoretically grow (though nothing here appreciates or depreciates - it's a simulator, not a hedge fund). A few try to do the most good: funding vaccine programs, distributing cash to thousands of people, underwriting nuclear startups. The game doesn't judge. It just runs the numbers.
The Items and Prices
Every item in the shop is priced against real-world estimates as of 2025-2026. Tech prices reflect current retail or pre-order figures. Real estate valuations are drawn from listings and market reports in those specific cities. Business acquisitions - NFL teams, F1 teams - are based on publicly reported franchise valuations. Where exact figures aren't public (like the Mona Lisa), we've used the most widely cited estimates from auction houses and art market analysts.
None of this is financial data, and none of the items are actually for sale through this site. Prices will drift as markets move, and some items (like Tesla Bot or the Tesla Roadster) are listed at anticipated launch prices that may change before they ship. Think of it as a living snapshot of what an extraordinary fortune could theoretically touch - not a catalog.
Share Your Receipt
Once you've made your picks, the receipt section below the shop itemizes everything you bought, calculates your total spend, and shows what percentage of the trillion you managed to burn through. You can print it, share it on X (Twitter), Facebook, or WhatsApp, or copy a link. The shareable text includes how much you spent and the percentage - enough to spark a conversation.
The game resets on refresh, so there's no pressure to commit to anything. Play it straight, play it ironically, or play it with your kids as a genuinely weird math lesson. Either way, you'll come away with a much clearer sense of what "trillionaire" actually means.
