The share of total national wealth owned by the top one percent of wealthy people in most major European economies rose over the period from 1995 to 2021, with the exception of Turkey. The growth of the one percent's share in Russia is particularly striking, as the poweful 'oligarchs' at the top of Russian society increased their share of that country's national wealth from less than a fifth in 1995, to almost half in 2021.
