Sorry, I was just spitballing. As the article was about both wealth and income, I should've mentioned both. But especially with wealth, I don't know how to remove the financial sector from the calculations, as just fromreading this article, I don't know from what they derived their percentages (and even then this is probably beyond my expertise, not being an economist). Net worth of people in the financial sector is probably a good starting step.

Or more generally, a breakdown of the areas of work of the richest 1 percent of several countries would definitely be interesting (again, both wealth and income).
