BILLIONS OF LIRAS PROFIT
According to the information provided by Emre, Kaya paid 63,359,000 TL for the shares. Her husband İlyas Kaya allocated 99,687,000 TL. The total cost of the couple exceeded 163 million TL. The amount stated to have been withdrawn from shares reached 2.17 billion TL.
The amount in question indicates a size far removed from the daily life of citizens. It was also a matter of curiosity what could be bought with this money. To better understand what the number means, we calculated the amount based on pension, minimum wage, car price and banknote weight.
MONTHLY SALARY OF 92 THOUSAND 136 PENSIONERS
According to the calculation, 2.17 billion TL corresponds to one month's salary of approximately 92 thousand 136 retirees. The same amount corresponds to one year's salary of approximately 7 thousand 678 retirees.
MONTHLY SALARY OF 77 THOUSAND 290 MINIMUM WAGE WORKERS
The picture does not change when the minimum wage is taken into account. The amount in question covers one month's net salary of approximately 77 thousand 290 minimum wage earners. On an annual basis, it is enough for the net salary of approximately 6 thousand 440 minimum wage earners.
THE COST OF THOUSANDS OF CARS
2.17 billion TL has a high equivalent in terms of automobile prices. The amount reaches the cost of approximately 1,496 new 2026 model Fiat Egea. It is possible to buy approximately 1,625 new 2026 model Opel Corsas for the same money.
MORE THAN 10 MILLION BANKNOTES, WEIGHT 12 TONS
Assuming that all 2.17 billion TL consists of 200 TL banknotes, the physical weight of the money was also calculated. The amount in question corresponds to a total of 10,850,000 200 TL banknotes. Assuming that each banknote weighs 1.13 grams, the total weight reaches 12,260,500 grams, that is, 12.26 tons.
Calculations reveal not only the financial value of 2.17 billion TL but also its physical size.
