description: "The top 40% of US income earners hold 83% of the total net worth, near an all-time record.\nThe top 20% account for 71% of the total net worth, up 10 percentage points over the last 2 decades.\nOn the other hand, the bottom 40% of income households hold only 8% of the wealth. Moreover, the bottom 20% of earners reflect just 3% of total US wealth.\nOver the last few years, the rich have gotten a lot richer.\nMost consumers are struggling.\nSource: The Kobeissi Letter, BofA"
