Stats and figures are amusing really.
From the looks of your chart, it seems that wealth is down for the top 1%. Isn't that a bad thing? When the rich go broke, they stop spending money. If the top 1% can't afford their summer homes, well, there goes the housing market.
But here's the best part... If the top 1% was to die instantly for some reason, they would instantly be replaced by the next top 1%.
I was driving down the street last night at about 7pm, and I noticed most of the garages were open. Nearly every garage had a "weekend" car under a car cover, or some kind of hot rod or project. One garage had a beautiful old Mustang and then a huge fucking Harley. Every driveway had at least two cars in the driveway, and parking on the street was full. Us fucking Americans live like kings, we just don't know it.
