"g-f" fishing of golden knowledge (GK) of the fabulous treasure of the digital age, American billionaires (9/10/2021)  g-f(2)426 

Alert, How far ahead the billionaires are from everyone else, Business Insider
  • The chart shows just how far ahead the billionaires are from everyone else. The dot representing the average American's wealth is so small that we had to draw a circle around it. If it had been any larger, Elon Musk's bubble — 488,000 times as large as the average American's — would be wider than the page. Even the average wealth of the top 1%, at about $13.7 million, is dwarfed by the billionaires.
  • Most HENRYs, a term that stands for "high earner, not rich yet," make six figures but still live paycheck to paycheck. Though they're in a much better position than many Americans to pay their mortgage, buy a car, or take a vacation, compared to billionaires like Musk or Benioff, they don't make the cut for the wealthiest. 
    Lesson learned, The US has 650 billionaires, Business Insider
    • According to an analysis by Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies Project on Inequality, if they had paid the 2% to 3% tax Warren proposes, the US government would've raised $114 billion. Or $1.4 trillion in a decade — enough to pay for half of President Biden's economic agenda.

      Alert, The gap between normal Americans and the wealthy, Business Insider
      • The gap between normal Americans and the wealthy shouldn't surprise anyone — but just look at this chart and the mind reels.
      • It can still be surprising to visualize the actual magnitude of the difference between a typical person, or even a very well-off person, and a billionaire.
      • The average American has personal wealth of about $393,000, according to the World Inequality Database. It might surprise you to learn that someone with that kind of net worth is not "wealthy," relative to the country's elite earners.
