This bracelet represents wealth inequality across the global population based on
data from 2022. There are 1,000 colored beads (excluding the black base beads), and each of these 1,000 beads accounts for approximately $500 billion of global wealth. The beads are arranged in 100 rows, and each row represents a percentile of the richest people in the world, along with the corresponding number of colored beads representing their collective wealth. For example, the first row contains 380 beads as the richest 1% of the population is estimated to own approximately 38% of all wealth. Copper-colored beads correspond to all the wealth that belongs to the top 10 richest people, and the golden bead corresponds to the wealth of the richest person in the world, Elon Musk (in 2022 his wealth already surpassed $300 billion, and as of May 29
th 2025 it is estimated to be $428.6 billion).
