The distribution of the world's wealthiest
This treemap shows the 500 most wealthy people in the world accoring to Forbes (data from 2013). I have bundled persons by their country giving an idea where the most wealthy people live. The amount of wealth of a person translate into the size of the shape, richer people have large squares. The colour shows the change in wealth since 2003 (ten years). Some people are new in the list (or they I couldn't be matched), these are show in green. You can interact with the treemap to zoom in and find more about each person.
