    There are a lot of 56 year olds in the US with negative net worth. I’m not sure what gotcha you think you’re making.

      Nobody is saying the system is not broken elsewhere. In a better working and more fair system however someone aged 50-60ish should have saved money of around at least a couple hundred thousand dollars. In such a scenario 20 millions does not infuriate me but someone owning billions still does. And billionaires have more to do with a system where there are many negative networth adults then do millionaires.

      disclaimer: I am no where near a millionaire
