Assignment 3: Infographic

Wealth Inequality to Scale

This infographic translates the abstract concept of global wealth inequality into tangible, relatable terms. Using data from the UBS Global Wealth Report 2025, I visualized wealth distribution across the world's population using two metaphors:

• Blocks: Each block represents $4.75 trillion USD and 38 million people, showing how the top 1% owns 48% of global wealth while 41% of the population shares the last block.
• Time: If every dollar equaled one second, $1,000 is 16 minutes (loading a dishwasher), while $1 trillion exceeds all of recorded human history at 31,709 years.
