libbymcf on 02 Feb 15"The SCF data show that the top 3 percent of the income distribution received roughly a third of all income in 2013, while the top 3 percent of the wealth distribution held 54 percent of all wealth. [32] Similarly, the top 10 percent of the income distribution received a little less than half of all income, while the top 10 percent of the wealth distribution held three-quarters of all wealth."

Wealth has a result of inheritance and savings, while income is what is currently earned. There is a great gap in the distribution of wealth and income.
