Comment on 7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18!

I am super confused by this post.
Yes, there is a huge problem of equality in societies around the world.
I even posted a arricle here that was talking about how the difference in distribution of wealth among families in USA is huge.
Yet the existence of billionaires alone, is not something surprising considering factors affecting the means of production, inflation and many other factors.
In order to be a boring dystopia you need to list the top earners from the middle class or the poor to demonstrate your point.
Otherwise, this post is kind of meaningless in my opinion.

Sorta harsh take, but I do agree that comparing these numbers with additional data would be helpful for establishing a clear understanding of income equality. It seems this particular table was written for comparing differences in the shown group only.
