Math:
Wings: Wings from Anchor Bar $1.20. $1 trillion/$1.20= $833 billion wings. $833 billion wings/365 days= 2.28 billion. 2.28 billiondays/10 million wings =228 years.
Caps: $1 trillion/ $25 per cap= 40 billion caps/ 1,132,300 people (Population in Buffalo) = 35,326 caps per person
Sabre: $1 trillion/$169 million (Sabre team value) = 5,917 teams
Luxury Yachts: $1 trillion/$600 million= 1,666 yachts
Buffalo Bills: $1 trillion/ $1.6 billion (Bills team value) = 625 teams
Terry Pegula: $1 trillion/ $4.5 billion (Terry Pegula net worth) = 222 Pegulas
Niagara Falls: $1 trillion/ $2 billion (Annual tourism spending) = 200 Niagara Falls tourism sites
Buffalo City: $1 trillion/ $80.3 billion (Gross Metro product, value of all final goods and services produced)= 12 Buffalo Cities
