I don't like how American - centric this is but otherwise very... impressive

I recommend visiting Gapminder. For example the Dollar Street, where you can get an inside how different life around the world is, depending on income.

Also, it's various other statistical tools like this animated graph, where you can see the billionaires running away to the right. Also interesting is the short blip of people having more wealth at around 1980 - 2010, which immediately got sucked back into "slightly right of extreme poverty mountain".

Imagine showing this on a linear axis

Also an inflation adjusted graph would be really nice.
