The top 20 per cent of earners in Canada held 67.8 per cent of the country's net worth, compared with the bottom 40 per cent holding 2.7 per cent.

I believe that number is gonna be very surprising when just using liquid + fixed assets net worth instead of income percentile.

I believe that is what they used…

I mean just sort by net worth hold and grouping them, not grouping by income. ie., top 1% by net worth, top 20% by net worth. Cause some people don’t have income but have a lot of net worth.

Ah! I see the distinction now. Yeah, it is odd they mixed and matched like that.
