Rankings / Income and wealth concentration

Top 10% income share

% of pre-tax national income, equal-split adults

216 economies, each at its own latest reading (2024), ranked highest first. Median 47.0.

Fiscal-data top shares (WID.world, equal-split adults) and survey Ginis (OECD) measure different objects and never share a ranking; income is a flow and wealth is a stock, so they are ranked separately. WID extends its most recent years by extrapolation, so a latest reading is an estimate. Source: WID.world, pre-tax national income (Piketty-Saez-Zucman). Construction: country methodology.

The US reading is the WID / Piketty-Saez-Zucman estimate; using the same tax data, Auten and Splinter find markedly lower top shares. Both are shown on the inequality module.

Full module: inequality, where these shares and Ginis are charted with their long-run trajectories and the estimate contests.
