Reminder that every dollar possessed by the ultrawealthy is time you wouldn’t have had to spend working and could instead used that time to enrich your personal life whether it’s alone, with family, or friends.

Yeah, it’s mindboggling as it is, but when you know how much more money the richest few people have made since it was last updated (the world’s five richest men have more than doubled their fortunes to $869bn since 2020), or how much all of the world’s billionaires are hoarding combined (2,781 billionaires with a total net wealth of $14.2 trillion), or that this trend isn’t going anywhere or slowing down, it really is overwhelming.
