Low interest rates rather increase wealth than decrease it. Except for cash, almost all other assets increase with low interests such as stocks, real estate etc. So the wealthy generally get more with low interest rates and not the other way around. Probably also one of the reasons why it is so difficult for central banks and politicians to decide to increase the interest rates although it's most likely badly needed.
