what I meant was the top 1% is one in a hundred, and you personally know some people that are at that income and wealth percentile, don't you?

however for the 1 in 10_000 you may or may not know people in that tier and for the 1 in 100_000 let alone 1 in 1_000_000 you are close to that tier or part of it to personally know them (in such a way that they know you).
