About
A small interactive piece, meant to be used as a counter of time during a presentation, illustrating how much extreme wealth grows over the course of a talk. It fits an exponential curve through recent Forbes net-worth estimates for Lidl founder Dieter Schwarz and then runs a live counter showing how much that fortune has grown since you opened the page. Leave it running while you speak: the longer the talk, the larger the gain. There is a pause/“speech time” mode, a pop-out window, and an editable version where you can drop in your own figures.
It is meant as an illustration, not a measurement: real fortunes do not grow at a perfectly constant rate, and unrealised gains like these are largely untaxed in Germany. That is rather the point.
