Because wealth is heavily concentrated, this total is distributed extremely unevenly across the population. The distribution breaks down as follows: [1, 2]
- Top 50% of Households: Hold approximately 98% of the total wealth (over $156 trillion).
- Bottom 50% of Households: Hold roughly 2% of the total wealth (about $3.9 trillion).
- The Top 1%: This group accounts for about one-third of the entire nation's wealth by themselves. [1]
