Who Owns Everything? — The Human Cost of Hoarded Wealth
An interactive explainer translates billionaire wealth into human working time, public costs, and possible alternatives.
Field notes
The explainer uses an eight-hour minimum-wage workday as its central unit, combining a stated $7.25-per-hour basis with a selected pool of 3,414 billionaires. Visitors can change the country, wage, currency, language, and display format, while a counter models an explicitly illustrative 4% annual growth rate. The page separates unrealized asset gains from cash and links its comparison categories to government agencies, research organizations, nonprofits, and other named sources.
