Friends:

For a left political event that will happen soon, I need an up-to-date, accurate statistic on the percentage of wealth (assets, income, etc.) possessed by the top1% and top 10% of the U.S. population. I've seen figures for the top 1% ranging from 40% of the wealth to 99% of the wealth and figures for the top 10% from 70% to 90%. We want to present a correct set of figures. Can anyone be of help? Thanks.
