Lines between dated anchors are modeled guides, not annual balance sheets. “2026 purchasing power” uses historical CPI and does not measure social rank, share of GDP, or relative economic power. Original-dollar comparisons cross different price eras and should be interpreted cautiously. Click a person’s name to inspect the underlying milestones and sources.
