You're right, it's about maximum worth.

J. Paul Getty was the richest person in the 50s and he was worth about a billion dollars. Adjusted for inflation, thats about $14 billion now.

Elon Musk is 70x richer than that.

It isn't about how little the poor have, its about how much the rich hoard. And it always has been.
