Suppose an economic report reveals that the total value of a nation's assets, such as stocks and real estate, grew by $5 trillion in one year. If this nation's asset distribution is similar to that of the United States, where the wealthiest 25% of households own over 80% of all assets, how was this $5 trillion in new wealth most likely distributed?
