That's about 18 Bill Gates.The total estimated worth of the top 25 billionares according to Forbes is around $390 Billion. (And that includes some non-americans!)

Since you're so hip with the figures
figure I'll ask a couple questions:
What's the percentage of that figure that goes towards teacher salaries?
What's the percentage of teachers that belong to unions?
I think your 725 Billion is going to shrink considerably after those two questions get answered...
