No answer to your question but something relevant to consider . . .
Michael Parenti did some investigation which revealed that the richest
of Americans are NOT included in data regarding wealth. I briefly heard
him make this statement on KPFK radio but have not done my homework to
read the details although I think the crux of his statement may be that
the Census Bureau omits the super wealthy...A fascinating accomplishment
on behalf of the rich. Parenti concludes that reports about income
inequality are skewed (obviously) but the omission would also have an
impact on accurately figuring the number of households with incomes over
$68,400.
