Visualization: Wealth Inequality in America

First, I find the content to be very mind-blowing. My perception of wealth in America is pretty similar to what the graph shows. It’s really hard to visualize what that much wealth really means. The alternative would be to use a logarithmic scale but that would also lose context. The visualization using simple shapes in the graph adds a lot of impact to the talk track. What do you think?
