Mathematically, I think it's hard for people to truly understand the obscene wealth that some people have accumulated. 100 billion doesn't sound that different than 100 million.

100 million is magnitudes closer to ZERO than it is to 100 billion.

The net worths are outdated but it's still a shocking way to show how much billions are...

Wealth shown to scale
