The Top 1% Are Getting Richer Through Business Ownership. What’s Stopping You?

The Top 1% Are Getting Richer Through Business Ownership. What’s Stopping You?

In 2022, 34.9% of income for the top 1% came from business ownership. Back in 2014, it was just 30.3%. That’s according to economists Owen Zidar and Eric Zwick. This isn’t a minor shift. It’s a clear trend.

Wealthy individuals aren’t just relying on salaries or stock market gains. They’re building businesses. Why? Because business ownership creates control, long-term income, and tax advantages that other income streams simply can’t offer.

So what does this mean for you?

It means that owning a business isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. It’s a strategy that’s working—and it’s available to anyone who’s ready to take the first step with the right team behind them.
