A bar graph would better demonstrated this data because the actual data value i.e. average personal wealth is hidden in a percentile. I would have a much more accurate idea of these numbers if they were compared in dollars. The average reader might not pick up on this and assume that we hold 34% of the world's wealth which is extremely misleading. I am not impressed with you pie graph.
