The graphic is quite outdated (2019 for top 3) and the situation got much worse. The latest datapoint on the website I could find was from 2021, indicating a wealth of 683 billions of the top 5 US citizens.

This is also wealth that is kind of known about.

For instance the way ol musky had Tesla engineers do work for Twitter is a wealth I don't think you can quantify.
