During the period from 1995 to 2021, the top one percent of wealthy people in Europe increased their share of the wealth distribution from 22 percent to over 26 percent. Over the same period, the wealth of the bottom 50 percent and the middle forty percent (top 10-50%) of people saw their shares shrink, while the share of wealth owned by the rest of the top 10 percent remained stable, at between 35 and 36 percent. The top 10 percent of wealthy people collectively own more than the remaining 90 percent of people in Europe combined in all years of this period.
