There is one misleading aspect to this visualisation: the rightmost bar for the ultrawealthy should get much, much narrower as it goes up (essentially microscopic on the x-axis scale). This matters because for the main part the area under the curve represents the total wealth in the country but when you start scrolling up the area is massively more than the wealth it is representing.

if you did a population density on the xaxis, that's what you're talking about really. That would definitely be scarier.
