      And it’s gotten much worse since then. The $185 billion number listed as the highest wealth would be around number 5 now, with Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Arnault all having more than that now I think.

      My favorite statistic household net worth (includes cars, houses, retirement, everything).

      Median from 2022 was 192,000 Mean from 2022 was 1,063,000

      The ultra-rich are such incredible outliers that the mean is more than 5x the median.

      The 10 wealthiest people in 2024 control almost 1.7 trillion dollars. That’s more than the GDP of the pooreat 100 countries combined.
