Claim 1: “The top 10% has 67.5% of U.S. wealth.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence contains no data regarding the total percentage of wealth held by the top 10% of the U.S. population. One source mentions the top 1% holding 30.9% of wealth, but this does not confirm or deny the specific claim about the top 10% holding 67.5%. Other sources discuss population counts, race distribution, golf tournaments, and highways, which are irrelevant to the claim.
