hobogap — you're closer to a hobo than the 1%hobogap is an interactive visualization of wealth disparity. A million dollars feels like it's in your world; on a true scale it isn't — and the real top 1% (about $13.7M) is another order of magnitude beyond that. Enter your net worth or salary and the site renders the distance between you, a hobo ($0), a millionaire ($1,000,000), and the 1% as:

A football field — $1M is 100 yards; the top 1% is about 14 fields.

One full year — $1M is 365 days; the top 1% is about 13.7 years.

Climbing Mount Everest — $1M is the 29,032 ft summit; the top 1% reaches ~75 miles up, past the edge of space.

A road trip — $1M is New York to LA; the top 1% is ~38,000 miles, more than a lap around the Earth.

A clock / calendar — $1M is one day; the top 1% is about two weeks.

It also shows how inflation erodes buying power and how compound-interest debt (like credit cards at ~25% APR) can leave you with a negative net worth — behind a person who owns nothing. This page requires JavaScript for the interactive charts.

Every scale runs from the hobo ($0) to the millionaire ($1,000,000). Road mileage & Everest camps approximate; card APR ~25% and inflation ~3.5% per mid-2026 US figures. Net-worth percentile thresholds: latest Fed SCF via DQYDJ (20%/15% approximate).
