Tony Dokoupil on Twitter: "For those following along at home, Bloomberg’s $500M campaign spend is the equivalent of the typical American family blowing $700-$800. Not nothing, but it leaves a lot of jingle in the piggybank.* *calculation based on Bloomberg’s wealth at $64B, typical family at 97K."

  Well, this is how I see it: Bloomberg made most of his $ from selling “information,” no? Though I admit, I never followed his career, except when he was mayor of my city. So, Bloomberg just supported other “multi-media.” Otherwise, my thoughts are consumed w/coronavirus info.

  He could still buy Trump and sell him for a nickel about 40 times.

  These types of perspective-settings are great, but that's $20k+ above the median household (w/kids in home) income.

  Since median assets vary by age, it is like typical grandpa blowing $2k on a hobby.

  Tony this is a very interesting stat and I agree with the percentage assessment but how does this reconcile with the average American family cannot pay for a $500 dollar unanticipated expense. I think that his spend is much more impactful for the average person.
