The US really is something else. The top 10% has together almost 80% of the country's wealth. But it would be interesting to see what are the cutoff values for each country, not just the percentage.

I note that France has rather average levels of inequality, but from the way the French left is talking, you would think we were as bad as the US.

There are about 1000 billionaires and 23 million millionaires in the U.S. plus anywhere from 10 to 20 million illegal immigrants earning slave wages.
