What you could buy with $1 trillion in student debt

Posted on November 12th, 2014

If you have a lot of student loan debt, you’re far from alone.

Unpaid federal student loan debt is nearly $1.1 trillion, according to the latest data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And that’s not even counting private loans.

To show how great of a number that is, Debt.com put together an infographic of all of the things you could buy with $1 trillion.

It includes a colony on Mars ($121 billion), the world’s most expensive mansion ($1 billion), and the world’s most expensive yacht ($4.5 billion), among other luxuries. And you’d still have plenty of money to spare. Even purchasing all of the expensive items in the infographic below would only amount to one-ninth of all of the student loan debt in America.
