>It would be misleading to suggest that a single person with zero wealth has more wealth than 100k people’s wealth combined

Using a word exactly as you should is not misleading.

People simply have a bad conception of wealth in their head.

But in reality saying that a single person just born is indeed wealthier than someone in debt: that's how it works.





single person just born is indeed wealthier than someone in debt is exactly right. based on my Pre-K Math 0 is greater than -X :)

The poorest 1% have more wealth than the poorest 5%. But they would never write that in an article since they have an agenda.

poorest 1% have $10 while poorest 5% have $9? not newsworthy :)
