Asset growth, including real estate, has consistently outpaced wage growth in recent decades, increasing the gap between the top and bottom wealth brackets.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Real estate makes up 12% of the top 1%\u2019s wealth<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nRoughly 1.3 million U.S. households make up the wealthiest 1%, defined by the Fed as having a minimum net worth of $11.2 million.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nReal estate represents 12.3% ($6.1 trillion) of that net worth, with most of the group\u2019s wealth tied up in financial assets, which have increased at a similar (or even quicker) pace to real estate over the past two decades.\n<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl bwwidth100\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwtopsingle bwsinglebottom bwleftsingle bwrightsingle
