@infobeautiful Numbers should have been given in relation to the number of people in each cohort (e.g. wealth per person).

It should be quite obvious that the biggest cohort also owns the most assets in absolute numbers.

@infobeautiful oh my, this should be overlaid or displayed side-by-side with comparative counts. To defuse the argument "In 99% of cases P(X) is held by x in C(X), but |C(X)| / |X| = 0.99".
