“In the United States, the top 10% own about two-thirds of the nation’s wealth.” 

The World Inequality Report 2022 states that in the U.S. “66% of the wealth is concentrated in the top 10.”  The Federal Reserve’s Distribution of Household Wealth in the U.S. since 1989 is also a primary source for current U.S. wealth-share data and is the best official place to verify the latest figure directly.
