I don't think that's true at all really, there are like 500,000 millionaires in my town alone. A billion is actually just a lot of money, there's a much more finite amount of room at the top. All you need to do to make a million quid in the UK is get a 75th percentile job and save half of it. After a few decades you are now a millionaire. I mean, everyone can't do it, but it's not some unfathomable task. In the US I imagine it's even easier. Your median income is lower but the top end is insane.

I mean, everyone can't do it, but it's not some unfathomable task. I agree that it is possible, but it is sadly an impossible task for most. That's my point above: for those who have wealth it is easy to grow it. It takes money to make money. My other point was that those who have a billion started with millions.
