Just above the billionaire cards it says: Top Donors This Month. So Dorsey donating this month likely put him at the front.

I totally skimmed right past that and didn't read it either because there's no filter for overall or any other period. Perfect example of design flaw that a designer would argue is the user's fault cause "ITS RIGHT THERE!"

I'd really like to talk to any designer that endorsed this site because there are three titles - One top-title (annoyingly in all-small) one caption title in title case (Well done on it's own but quite conflicted against the all-small over-title) and then an additional sub-title that is, unaccountably, placed after a social media callout... in other words placed in a position after the thing everyone ignores... Also it's in all-caps because having your titles in three different capitalizations and utilizing capitalizations in the opposite order of general assumption is just what we like doing to not make the user think. At least they didn't use three separate font faces, but I feel like that might just be by chance.

I'm the designer. And engineer, etc. :P

Sorry, which are the three titles?

I see "billionaire board" and "Top donors this month" as two, but what's the third?

Will put the caps in sync!

Specifically I'd consider the main title to be: "billionaire board" the title caption to be "These are the world's most powerful people. Let's track their impact & inspire them to do more good, starting with COVID-19." and the subtitle "Top donors this month" - on further reading it looks like this might work a lot better if the subtitle was considered a content title in the case where there were multiple content blocks each with a separate ranking or grouping that needs description.

Great feedback! Will take this to heart as I ponder the next iteration.
