US Wealth Quintiles

Interesting article on how much wealth is owned by each 5th of the population in various countries.
Pie charts contrast Sweden and the US. The top fifth of US citizens controls 84% of all the countries wealth while the bottom fifth controls 0.1%. Fair? Seems completely absurd to me.
