Here's a fascinating video using the Morgan State University football field to compare the age of the earth - approximately 4.5 billion years - to the length of time humans have been on the planet.
You could use the same visuals to compare Trump's net worth - approximately $4.5 billion, according to some estimates (and much more according to Trump) - to other Americans' net worth.
Trump's net worth, using the $4.5 billion figure, is the entire football field.
Approximately 99% of individual Americans' net worth ($8 million or less) is within the last 7.5 inches of the football field.
Approximately 50% of individual Americans' net worth ($82 thousand or less) is within the last 1/12 of an inch of the football field--the width of a matchstick.
Approximately 20% of individual Americans' net worth ($4314 or less) is within the last 100 micrometers of the football field--the width of a human hair.
Odd that so many voters didn't see Trump as part of the elite.
