ALL CAN BECOME RICHER THAN THE RICHEST

16 Psyche is a large asteroid discovered by the Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis in 1852. It is named after the Greek mythological figure Psyche. The size is 279×232×189 km and it's orbital time is 1823 days. Length of day is 4.296 hours. The mass is less than 1% of earth's moon. Psyche orbits the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter at a distance ranging from 378 million to 497 million km from the Sun. It takes about five Earth years to complete one orbit of the Sun.

This asteroid is the primary target of Psyche mission. The Psyche spacecraft is scheduled to launch in August 2022 and will arrive at the asteroid in early 2026. The spacecraft will study all possible particulars about Psyche. This asteroid is known to be full of metal rather than of rock and ice. What makes the asteroid Psyche unique is that it appears to be the exposed nickel-iron core of an early planet. The mysterious object is loaded with heaps of platinum, iron, nickel and gold. Some think that the metals that comprise Psyche could make be worth about $10,000 quadrillion. (The global economy was worth about $142 trillion in 2019. The richest man on earth is Jeff Bezos, worth $190bn)

Let us now imagine that 16 Psyche is brought to the earth and shared by the whole human on earth. The share of each one on this earth will be more than the richest in this world.
