I'm amazed at this thinking too - especially in this crowd - that doesn't see this happening as another iteration of a natural power law. Sure, it's to an Nth degree, but that's to be expected in those distributions. I would bet that you'd see the same distribution even within the ultra-wealthy (Gates & Buffet probably make up the majority of the wealth). You also see it at the other end of the spectrum (US citizens are 1000x magnitudes more wealthy than the bottom 2 Billion).
