Gilded Gauge is an experiment in visualizing relative wealth in terms viewers may find more natural to grasp.

Enormous numbers become tangible via comparisons to the Fall of Rome, the distant future, and cascades of emoji commodities.

Each falling menagerie represents a concrete representation of the value in question, down to the precise dollar.
