I don’t disagree with your logic, but I want you to re-read your third paragraph and then to honestly consider the realities of the people who are most negatively affected by wealth inequality.

You are talking about an extreme: those "most negatively affected" are definitely not comparable to my situation. FWIW, I have not stated my position on "wealth redistribution", since you seem to be arguing as if I said I am against it (and no, I still haven't stated it). I am personally just well-off and in no way "wealthy" (as most senior software engineers likely are today). I am not complaining, I am just putting out a data point that I've never seen mentioned, let alone studied. I am fully aware of the non-direct benefits things like "good looks" (height being one of those in males — my sister is over 6' herself and you can guess what her experience being above average height has been) have on people's success: it's easy enough to notice a difference in how people treat you—one single person—depending on what you are wearing (sweatpants, jeans, or more formal attire).
