Want to be a millionaire? Go to Zimbabwe.

The official inflation rate in Zimbabwe is 25,000% yearly, but the real rate is more like 150,000%.

A hamburger there costs 15 million Zimbabwe dollars. Zimbabweans carry currency in one, five and ten-million dollar denominations.

What's it take to be a millionaire in Zimbabwe? Two and a half bucks, American.
