The chart there is deceptive—to be fair, we should be showing 1 and 5 percentile as well. Saying “walking around a mall you might encounter a few decamillionaires” is shifting focus from the fact that 1 in 10 people are experiencing near zero net worth and the bottom 1 percentile likely are suffering way more than the top 1 percent are enjoying their riches.
