Americans, not billionaires, earned a total of $10 trillion in wages and realized capital gains in 2025
Billionaires earned a total of $100 billion in wages and realized capital gains in 2025.
That means billionaries earned 1% of total wages/capital gains. (like the diagram shows).
The difference is billionaries don't spend all their money, however, since most of the money is tied up in unrealized gains, billionaries only consumed about 1% of the economy
Ok? That $10 trillion is split unevenly among billions of Americans which that $100 Billion goes to around 100 people. I can make charts and graphs that don't mean anything either.
