During the coronavirus pandemic, billionaires in the US have so far gained $637 billion. I know that after a point large numbers start to get a bit meaningless so to put that in perspective, it's enough to give every US citizen $1900 and sill have money left over.

Meanwhile the wealth of 8 of the 10 richest people has increased, and the combined wealth of the 100 richest people has surpassed the GDP of the UK.
