The bottom half of adults own 2% of wealth
This grid is money, not people. The poorest 50% of adults share twenty squares. The richest 1% take 380. The picture is ownership, not income.
Money and trade grids normalize to one pie — your cell is one equal percent of whatever the title names as 100%. This grid divides global household wealth (2022 snapshot) into colored bands — Richest 1% of adults, Next 9%, and 2 more groups — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.
