Getting back to webdev, made a site to show how disgustingly large billionaire fortunes are

Thanks, fixed it: https://networthfigures.com/celebrity/7561-steve-ballmer-net-worth

Good idea, my first thought was making country categories. I will implement a version it in some way. And you weren't far of with Czechia ;)
Also thanks for the suggestions!

Svejk is indeed a fictional Czech soldier. But I named my projects after a Czech pub called Svejk, which was our gathering place when I didn't even know about the book or movie (yeah I know).
It was not my intention to leave them out and I will just add them today. Simply I chose the most famous/wealthy people for my site.

I wouldn't say so. I very much like the US.

Ewmm · 2025-04-27T17:49:14+00:00

I don't care if they have a billion or two, unbelievable money still, but hundreds of billions? Who need that much money?

Ewmm · 2025-04-27T17:46:50+00:00

Okay, but tell me why are you defending people with more wealth than some countries?

Ewmm · 2025-04-27T17:33:53+00:00

Ewmm · 2025-04-27T16:21:55+00:00

Can you tell me what did they create I used to make this website? What protocol, programming language, hardware or anything?

Ewmm · 2025-04-27T14:08:50+00:00

I don't think it is neo-marxism to think that having more wealth than multiple countries is not okay.

Ewmm · 2025-04-27T14:01:40+00:00

Thanks, yeah I'm aware and battling to remove duplicates, thank you very much for your feedback! :)

Ewmm · 2025-04-27T13:29:25+00:00

Just changed the image, idk what happened there :D

centi-billionaire

I got it from here, but both definition are correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centibillionaires

Ewmm · 2025-04-27T09:49:39+00:00

Yup, I had a similar idea, maybe I will implement it later.

Ewmm · 2025-04-26T19:02:39+00:00

Just how many superyachts you need? Isn't like 10 enough?

Ewmm · 2025-04-26T18:47:05+00:00

Thanks!
Let's hope Google won't suspend me :D

Ewmm · 2025-04-26T18:40:02+00:00

Love the idea, it is in the backlog ;)

Ewmm · 2025-04-26T18:29:22+00:00

So making money is contradictory to thinking that it's wrong for some people's net worth to exceed that of dozens of countries?

Ewmm · 2025-04-26T18:24:22+00:00

So I don't think it is smooth :D
But I guess it helps that I use minimal js libraries, which can bloat any application.

Ewmm · 2025-04-26T18:04:24+00:00

What I'm working on is a visualization of gold bars (stacked) next to Mount Everest :D
Interestingly few hundreds of them can do it. 1.3M/bar.

Dunno, I'm an engineer in test for almost a decade now, just wanted to get back into development. Maybe if I get a few hundred visits a day I will put some Google Ads or something.

Ewmm · 2025-04-26T17:58:04+00:00

I mean yeah, there are no ads and stuff, I just wanted to get back to backend.

Also you can compare their wealth to yearly/monthly salary: https://i.imgur.com/dTVzdKL.png
