Excessive Wealth is the Defining Crisis of Our Lifetimes.

The ultra-rich use their vast fortunes and unprecedented influence to make life harder for the rest of us.

What we do

Excessive Wealth Institute

The Excessive Wealth Institute funds research on the top 0.1% and the societal consequences of extreme wealth to educate policymakers, media, philanthropists, and the public. Long term, EWI hopes to change the narrative around the ultra-wealthy, moving from a culture of greed to one of shared prosperity.

Tax the Greedy Billionaires

Tax the Greedy Billionaires connects America’s extreme wealth crisis to the issues Americans care about most: how billionaires distort housing and healthcare markets, drive up costs, and pollute our planet. We bring together lawmakers, advocates, and experts to champion bold legislation to tax the ultra-wealthy.
