Surging Stock Market, Trump Policies Boost Wealth for Top 1%
The richest 1% of Americans owned nearly one-third of the nation's wealth at the end of 2025, the highest since 1989 according to the Federal Reserve Board.
This 31.9% wealth share is likely the highest since World War II, resembling wealth inequality from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Tax cuts and pro-business policies under President Donald Trump are expected to further increase wealth concentration among the top 1%.
