According to the 80/20 Rule, the top 1% should have over 50% of the wealth
The 80/20 rule (Pareto principle) is found to be applicable almost everywhere. So why shouldn't it be applicable to income?
top 20% have 80% of wealth top 20% of that 20% (4%) have 64% of wealth top 20% of that 4% (.8%) have 51% of wealth
This is inline with what we see in the real world:
