How much would the whole world cost if I wanted to buy everything?

Question

Can someone give me a realist appraisal of the whole worlds worth? Support your awnser...

Answer 1

You cannot put a price on God's creation. Money is a man made thing. So how can you buy something with money that is worth nothing?

Answer 2

Well according to the Old Testament GOD gave dominion over the earth to the Devil cause at one time he was GOD's favorite but failed at an attempt to overthrow GOD. Since GOD doesn't renege on his promises , the Devil still has it all including greed, envy,jealousy,hate, etc, etc.,So if ya wanted to strike a deal or know what it would cost , contact the owner. After all he offered it all to JESUS if He would renounce GOD as his Father, JESUS said "Do not tempt the LORD thy GOD"!!!Meaning all that wealth meant nothing compared to his Heavenly Father's birthright. So it was heard somewhere that a million, trillion 's worth of zeros behind a number is what it's worth

Answer 3

Well, something that will get you a step in that direction is to tally up the gross national product of each of the countries of the world over several years. This will give you some notions of aggregate value and worth.

The problem is, that when you start buying, the price will go up asymtopically. When the cash leaves you, that means others have cash. They will bid up the things that remain. Of course, if you have unlimited cash, then that becomes hyperinflative, so bushels of your currency won't buy a loaf of bread. Then again, the logistics would be as impossible as that of some jolly old elf that brings toys to all of the world's children every December 25th.

I'll give this one a go for the fun of it! It depends whether you are referring to the artifacts that people have made (property, industry etc) or do you mean the essential value of the literal planet. If you are speaking of the latter it is invaluable, but if you are referring to the former, that is, buying everything from everybody, I think that can be calculated.

How would you calculate it? Well my guess is that the value of the world would be about the sum of ten times the annual earnings of every country in the world. To make things easier, we can limit it to the richest countries (facts from the CIA world factbook)... so here we go...

USA - 13.79 trill x 10 = 137.9 trill

Japan - 4.417 trill x 10 = 44.17 trill

Germany - 3.259 trill x 10 = 32.59 trill

China – 3.249 trill x 10 = 32.49 trill

UK - 2.756 trill x 10 = 27.56 trill

France - 2.515 trill x 10 = 25.15 trill

Italy - 2.068 trill x 10 = 20.68 trill

Canada - 1.406 trill x 10 = 14.06 trill

Russia - 1.286 trill x 10 = 12.86 trill

Add all that up, and I would suggest that everything that man has made in the world is worth about $347.46 trillion... give or take a dollar :-)
