Effective way to plot values with a vast difference between them

1

Here's a nice simple bar graph. It's effective when the plotted values are in the same kind of ballpark, but when there's an outlier, it can put things out of wack.

For instance, I want to plot some values where:

the lowest value is 90,000,000 (90 Million);

the second highest is 500,000,000 (500 Million);

the highest value is 3,000,000,000 (3,000 Million); ^{†3 Billion (short scale)}

First of all, the bars would slide ride off the page. Even if I shift the decimal point.

Second point is, it effects the actual figures displayed on the graph.

Third point is, most of the values are towards the low end of the scale (around 100 million), so most of the bars are very small, and there is just this one massive bar. What's the solution?
