Where the money actually went

Large financial figures are almost always reported as a single number, and the single number is the least interesting form of the story. Two hundred million raised, seven hundred million burned, a salary of some amount — the question in every case is the breakdown.

These clips take a total and decompose it: what the money was spent on, what a wage costs before it reaches you, and how concentrated a share really is once it is drawn to scale.
