That was a good one. "Everyone knows" this, and so did I. The Economist has a cleaner chart, and it is striking how well the logarithmic relationship holds.

I tried the suggested image search, and think I found the chart the author made fun of, "the one where people who make enough money literally hit the top of the scale. Apparently, there’s a dollar value which not only makes you happy, it makes you as happy as it is possible for humans to be."
