MODERATORS
I think the better comparison would be the number of billionaires per capita. Say, per million people. Not that this isnβt a good infographic - keep the overall count. But include the per capita as a frequency-of-occurrence stat.
I didnt knew this Graph but damn..
And this is why you could tax them at 80 or even 90% and they would still have more money than 90% of the rest of the population of earth.
We need an EU wide 100% wealth tay for any wealth over say 15millionβ¬. I am willing to negotiate about the second number.
Tay them all!

Trickle down economics works like a piΓ±ata. Once you break it open with blunt force, the stuff you want starts to trickle down!
blood?
blood.
That's a lot of food to eat. Better get started.
Only 3 in Monaco ? *suspicious*
Thereβs some bookkeeping sorcery going on there, gotta be
Also: whyβs it yellow? Itβs got 3, so it should be green

The other 2000 billionaires have their residence in Panama, their 5 parent companies in Seychelles and 10 others in Cayman Islands, which in turn own 100 subsidiary companies in Ireland and the Bahamas which in turn own 1000 subsidiary companies in the Netherlands and Delaware, which own and pay their butlers, cars, yachts and jets and on paper they themselves barely earn enough monthly themselves to afford 1 public toilet visit.

Thatβs a lot of guillotines
Even if we had to use a private submarine for each one it would still be worth it
Be environmentally minded please and follow the three Rβs. In this case we simply reuse the same guilotine.
It would make more sense to use per capita numbers.
Am I the only one who finds the color scheme unintuitive? (a comment more suitable for DataIsBeautiful, probably)
These are eatable numbers
Itβs important to remember that while all billionaires are bastards, some are just evil because they take value they neither earned nor need, meanwhile others got rich off being the family whose spat between cousins was WWI and are actively working to undermine left wing and pro equality movements literally today including conspiring to push bigotry towards lgbt people to distract from the class war
Is this based on nationality (defined as: has that nations passport) or billionaires actually living in that country? Because probably many billionaires don't live in their home country or pay taxes there
Portugal's only billionaire might be Abramovich, who gained PT nationality through a very dubious program
didn't know we had so many billionaires!
Another reason why Portugal is doing it right
Not really, we might have only one billionaire, but all the millionaires are very greedy, as well as the upper clear as a whole. Combining that greed with the sky rocketing cost of living, mainly due to digital nomads and airbnb, we're certainly not an example. Just a collapse waiting to happen.
