Although if you did earn $5k per day and managed to invest at a yearly return of 3% above interest, you'd have about $41 trillion
At 1% above interest you'd just have $3.6 billion so invest wisely
(edit, corrected the numbers)

Huh. Based on this online calculator(https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator), if i earn £5000 everyday in 1493(Cuntopher Columbus start his slave trading voyage in 1492 i think), i would have £1,825,000, which in today money is roughly £1,813,589,780.47, that's just for a single year.
Kinda made me the richest immortal in the world.
I don't think the original poster meant you to 'adjust for inflation'. Good thinking tho!
Was Columbus trading slaves?
He enslaved people as he travelled

Didn't everybody back then?
I'm sure it was very common. But that's whataboutism and it's definitely worth noting.
Slaves didn't own slaves
