His wealth would be equivalent to about $15,000,000,000. Performed in the biggest stadium the world has ever seen in the Circus Maximus, once said to be able to hold 250,000 people. Experts are beginning to doubt that figure as they now believe that much of the stadium was standing room only and could have accommodated even more people.

His wealth was equivalent to the pay of every in the Roman army at its height for 2.5 months. At its height, the Roman army had between 400,000 to 700,000 men in its ranks.
