To me, the most important question is, how many of the uber-rich today were also uber-rich 30 years ago? How many people who were uber-rich 30 years ago are forced to live (or have heirs who are forced to live) truly modest lifestyles today?
I'm not concerned so much with how much more rich the rich are than the rest of us, as I am with whether there is the genuine opportunity for upward mobility in our society, or whether one must already be above a certain income level before one can expect to become significantly richer.
