The fact that One Trillion is as easy to say as One Million is a travesty. It's great for coming to terms with astronomic scales, but it really hampers the average person in understanding just how much wealth a single plane of people hold.

This is my favorite attempt to show just how much wealth they're actually talking about. It's a bit biased towards phones, and it dates itself a bit, but it certainly makes an impression.
