    I am super confused by this post.

    Yes, there is a huge problem of equality in societies around the world.

    I even posted an article here that was talking about how the difference in distribution of wealth among families in USA is huge.

    Yet the existence of billionaires alone is not something surprising considering factors affecting the means of production, inflation and many other factors.

    In order to be a boring dystopia, you need to list the top earners from the middle class or the poor to demonstrate your point.

    Otherwise, this post is kind of meaningless, in my opinion.

      Sorta harsh take, but I do agree that comparing these numbers with additional data would be helpful for establishing a clear understanding of income inequality. It seems this particular table was written for comparing differences in the shown group only.
