2 of the 3 states with no billionaires would be in >90% of people’s top guesses. But nobody would say Delaware!

Fascinating the Delaware is home to SO many corporations, but zero billionaires.

Hoarded in their net worth like piles of gold in the mountain hold of a dragon. Only given out in small tokens to those that serve their own, selfish desires. Bound to no man or law.Â

Was this before or after that insane tax bill California proposed that, by the nature of its wording within its proposal, incentivized billionaires to leave before it was even voted on? I think the back-date in the bill was for December and so a few billionaires (like Zuck) have already packed it up. If the data was collected before the end of the year then this map would probably look notably (but only slightly) different given the amount of weight that relatively few people have that it represents.

::Cue John Denver::
If the US government taxed 100% of the wealth on this screen, it could fund the federal budget for part of the year.
Nice graph. (Commenting so I’m able to find again easily)
