If you have ever wondered why the gap between the ultra-wealthy and everyone else seems to grow regardless of how the broader economy is performing, the answer lies in the mechanics of capital itself. While most of us are taught that wealth is built through hard work and diligent saving, the reality for the top one percent is quite different. It is not just about what you save; it is about how that saved money behaves. Since 1980, a massive shift has occurred globally where the rise in wealth isn't coming from new income being tucked away in savings accounts, but from the appreciation of existing assets. When we talk about capital gains—the increase in value of stocks, real estate, or private equity—we are describing a phenomenon where wealth creates more wealth simply by existing. There is a famous economic principle known as 'r > g,' which stands for the rate of return on capital exceeding the rate of economic growth.
