Americans have a chance to join the billionaire's club Wednesday night, with the Powerball reaching a historic $1.5 billion.

But of course, even $1.5 billion pales in comparison to the fortunes of titans like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. In fact, a sole winner of the jackpot wouldn't even make Forbes' 2015 list of the 400 richest Americans. Beer scion Richard Yuengling Jr. garnered the last spot, with a net worth of $1.7 billion.No doubt, many will be eagerly awaiting the drawing at 10:59 p.m. ET Wednesday.

Still, if you're the lucky 1 in 292 million to nab the grand prize, you'll find $1.5 billion can go quite far. To provide some context, here are a few examples of what those winnings add up to.

1.  A fleet of Gulfstream G650 jets. 

Those plush private planes cost $65 million apiece. But with your lottery winnings, you can scoop up 23 of them.

2. The gross domestic product of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. 

You could match the $1.3 billion GDP of those island nations, and buy the Playboy Mansion with your remaining $200 million.

3.  A parking lot full of Tesla Model S electric cars.

These eco-friendly cars cost at least $71,100 apiece. So consider taking your fortune and buying one for each of your 21,097 closest friends.

4. A stay at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai.

The royal two-bedroom suite is going for $35,444 a night in late January. But hey, you can afford it. With that $1.5 billion, you can stay for 42,320 nights. Hope you're planning on a long life: That's 116 years.

5.  A flotilla of 'super yachts.' 

According to Towergate Insurance, a 100-meter-long yacht that can cruise at 25 knots and has an onboard  staff of 50 costs roughly $275 million on average. You could buy a mini-armada of five, hop aboard your seaborne palace and sail off into the sunset.
