It's not the 1% it's the 0.01%.

I was annoyed that no one was answering this because I was tacitly curious too. For what its worth, it was kinda difficult to find a current figure, but in 2021 it was 11% of the global wealth or $51.81 trillion. The top .1% only has about $56 trillion from what I can tell.
So even in that bracket, the ultra-super pro max wealthy own 90%+ of the top .1% of global wealth if my numbers are even remotely correct. That list would be the world's 810,000 most wealthy individuals.
Dang, nice research. I literally has no idea how to find those figures. As I expected, wealth is super concentrated at the top even amongst the 0.1%. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

I've heard some actual numbers thrown about that are in the triple digits. Like if you cap the top 230 most wealthy people at a billion (or 10) US, we could build a shitton of lead free aquaducts or whatever your favorite 'metric of the commons' is.
