This doesn’t show the severity of it.

A better pie chart would show:
~ The top 0.001%
~ Everyone else in the top 0.01%
~ Everyone else in the top 0.1%

You’re likely already guessing how the pie looks with those groups figured in.

Note that absolutely everything above $30 million is pure capital. Its only purpose is to make more money.

Note that people this rich can do a lot of incompetent and heinous stuff and still fail upwards.

Note that a considerable number of the ultra-wealthy think of working class humans as NPCs and would rather replace us all with machines that cost twice as much to maintain.
