Total net worth. No hidden assets or secret bank accounts. Every last cent that a person is worth. Also, it gets brighter/more noticeable whenever you're advocating for something that increases your net worth.

I feel like this would be the only way to get a lot of people to connect the dots.

    It would need to include intangible wealth too, though. One of the big 20th century studies on poverty concluded there's a great deal of social mobility, because rich nepobabies on a gap year or at university were counted as having no income. (And if they'd been looking at wealth, maybe not much in their own name there, either)
