There's pretty much a mathematical rule that states that variables free to have any values tend to distribute themselves like that, just like the one that states that variables that are bounded tend to distribute themselves normally.

Or are you talking about the specific numbers? Because yes, the specific numbers are almost never correct.

Pareto distribution can be expressed in mathematical terms. So what? That does not explain why a specific distribution should follow this rule.
