Another perspective listed as a comment on that page:

If I gave you a $100 bill every second until I reached the trillion dollar mark, how many years would it take???

60sec x 60min x 24hr x 365 days = number of seconds in a calendar year, (31,536,000)

A trillion is $1,000,000,000,000

$1,000,000,000,000 / 31,536,000 secs = 31709.791983764586504312531709792 dollars

31709.791983764586504312531709792 dollars / 100 dollars = 317.09791983764586504312531709792 years

If I gave you a $100 bill every second until I reached the trillion dollar mark, how many years would it take???

The answer is 317 years
