Someone worth $230.0B gives $10.0B. That costs them 4.3% of everything they own. Charge the same rate on your $45,000 and you owe $1,957: the identical sacrifice, in proportion.
Same sacrifice. Both give 4.3%

Drawn at the same size, because proportion is what is being compared. The band is the same slice of each square — the same shape taken off both fortunes.
Now the same two, drawn honestly. Area for area.
Everything you own is 0.03 px² of their square.
Fill a square with their $230.0B and your $45,000 covers 0.03 px² — less than one pixel, so it cannot be drawn at true size. The ratio is 1:5,111,111. The magnifier shows one of their pixels, with your fortune's share of it drawn to area inside.
