I believe that the distortion of perception in the actual distribution of wealth can be caused by the fact that the people we talk about (on tv, on the radio, on the internet, etc.) are often wealthy people (actors, singers, politicians, entrepreneurs, etc.).
The media make people feel "close" to people who a incredibly more wealthy than they are, making them feel poorer than they actually are.
