I've never met anyone, save for maybe Reggie Noble, that doesn't want a Scrooge McDuck vault full of money. Just a big old silo of cash for a rainy day and hookers. But just how much money did old Scrooge have in his vault? We may never know that exact answer -- it was a cartoon for Christ's sake and the price of gold has changed -- but the crew over at The Roosevelts has created a few graphics showing what every milestone amount of money would look like in real life. Believe it or not, $100 million would probably fit into a studio apartment in NYC.
$1 Million

Yep, that's it. That small-ass stack
$100 Million

Getting warmer, but still not impressed.
$1 Billion

It looks nice and it weighs about 10 tons.
$1 Trillion

It's bigger than the f*cking White House
$1 Trillion (view 2)
$122 Trillion

The amount of money the US has in unfunded liabilities by Dec 2012 would trump every high-rise in NYC if someone stacked it.
