That's some additional data, but are you specifically defining the "mega rich" as the top percent. Most would consider that definition too broad.

Also the late 20s was according to your source (and I agree) the point where you had the greatest concentration of income in the top 1%, but "the late twenties" do not equal "the twenties and the 30s". The percentage would be lower in the middle twenties, still lower in the early 20s, and much lower in the 30s.
