> comparing these numbers with the first gilded age, > **how many robber barons were there?**> Specifically compare this statement with the conditions at the peak of the first gilded age: “The bottom half of billionaires controls about $3T, or 13.7% of billionaire wealth. The top 10% controls about $11.6T, or 53.2%. The top 1% alone controls about $5.2T”
