Proportions seem off. The Bill Gates sphere is not ~1000x smaller than the All Money sphere. Not even close.
Bill gates sphere is about 30 pixel radius and the all money is 300 pixels. So there sphere is approximately exactly x1000 small for Bill Gates.
Volume is difficult to judge, especially when its a 2D representation of a 3D object.
Interesting. Thanks for counting the pixels.
Just eye-balling, it doesn't seem 10x larger in diameter.
But yeah, this isn't 'beautiful' data when the initial look is a 2D circle and not a 3D sphere.
