    The media love to remind all of us of the so-called 1% but NEVER mention the 0.0001%. Roughly 400 Americans that have an unimaginable amount of wealth. Not Jeff Bezos, Not Elon Musk nor anyone that is publicly acknowledged.

    Wealth Shown to Scale has shown all of us, for many years, the diseased dragons lying on mountains of gold. These are the ones that own and control almost everything that happens on Earth.

      Not that it isn’t a lot, but the 3.2 trillion figure is a total, not an average; that gives an average of only 8 billion per person. Going off Wealth Shown to Scale, Bezos’ wealth could be equally spread among at least 23 people, and they’d all still be in the top 400.
