, shown to scale - excellent interactive graphic showing just *how* much wealth the super rich have, compared to the rest of the planet - "Even the fortunes of very rich people are dwarfed by the incomprehensible wealth of the 0.0001%." Jeff Bezos is far, far wealthier than David Solomon (head of Goldman Sachs), Beyoncé, and Tim Cook combined. This graphical visualization really drives the point home. And yet "Jeff Bezos may be insanely rich, but it is a drop in the ocean compared to the combined wealth of his peers. The 400 richest Americans own about $3.2 trillion, which is more than the bottom 60% of Americans."
