California's wealth distribution tells an interesting story. The two Google founders alone account for roughly 23 percent of aggregate billionaire wealth across the state. Add Peter Thiel to that mix, and you're looking at over 30 percent concentrated in just a handful of individuals. This kind of wealth concentration raises fundamental questions about how economic systems function and whether concentrated capital ultimately leads to systemic instability. The pattern is worth tracking—not as a political statement, but as an economic reality that shapes markets and opportunities.

ngl this data looks a bit scary, three people can consume 30% of California's wealth... Silicon Valley's game is becoming more and more like Monopoly.

Silicon Valley is so competitive, no wonder housing prices are outrageous.

30% concentrated in the hands of a few people? That's why we need crypto—decentralization isn't just talk.

Wow, 30% taken by three people? Silicon Valley is really outrageous to the extreme.
