Sure, but if that number is such that a significant proportion of society is born with it and pass it along to their children while everyone else can't hope to get there, that's a very different society and social structure than one where a few extremely lucky people happen to achieve it each generation without a self-reinforcing class structure.
> It does nobody any good for fewer people to be wealthy
It could. If we actively redistributed wealth from the top quintile to the bottom quintile, it would do a lot of people a lot of good.
