U.S. wealth distribution Q3 2023
"In the third quarter of 2023, 66.6 percent of the total wealth in the United States was owned by the top 10 percent of earners. In comparison, the lowest 50 percent of earners only owned 2.6 percent of the total wealth."

So, the other 40% have 30.8% of the wealth. (Probably has the same skewed bias as the total population.)
