The distribution of wealth in advanced societies needs a deeper analysis than Gini coefficents. One reason for some of the spread is motivation : Not everyone who has a net worth of 500k and is making 120k in a moderate cost of living environment (not New York or LA) feels the need to work 60 hours a week to make 250k and then have 2 million in a few years. There are large nubers of people at most income levels who don't really feel pushed to make more. The few that do want to work 60 hours + per week, want a lot more and can get it because there is less competition from the satisified workers. This is realtively new, many people who grew up in the depression feel a need to have a large economic cushion against disaster.
