I'M BACK AT THE TOP BABY

Okay but seriously, let's take a really quick look at wealth distribution in the ISFL. The last time we did this (see here), the richest 5 owned as much money as the bottom 37.67% of users. However, the overall wealth now of the top 5 has increased by 300 million dollars - but we also have a lot more new users and a larger active user base. These mostly offset, and so the richest 5 now have the same amount of wealth as the lowest 37.10% of users.

The percentiles improved too!

• 10%: $1.72M → $2.00M (+$0.28M)
  
• 25%: $4.77M → $5.00M (+$0.23M)
  
• 50%: $8M → $8.57M (+$0.57M)
  
• 75%: $12.3M → $13.19M (+$1.11M)
  
• 90% $24.26M → $24.70M (+0.44M)
  
• 99%: $94.2M → $114.83M (+20.63M)
  

The richest get richer-est. Feels awfully familiar....

Overall though, wealth across the board increased, as the league passed $20.6 BILLION in total money. Is it mostly concentrated at the top? Yes. It sure is a good thing this isn't a real economy :)

The new DSFL rule stipulating rookie contracts are 6M instead of 5M might help close the gap. But with @IsaStarcrossed and myself passing the half-billion mark - who knows.

I humbly request that the 1% of the ISFL share their wealth with the rest of us. It's only fair that the wealth be redistributed between the less fortunate players who have to write giant mock drafts amongst other articles just to get by.

honestly from the perspective of a rich user i wouldn't even mind a wealth tax in the league. what am i gonna use this money for anyways? i could quit every job i have right now and still have enough money to buy 13.5M equipment + 8x1M weekly training for 24 seasons. yes, i earned this money and yes, i earned the right to coast on that wealth for a while... but 24 seasons is a lot! that's over 3 IRL years... this league has barely been around 24 seasons haha. don't take all of my money and redistribute it, but i certainly wouldn't mind using my vast wealth to help others out.

now, how do we control how that money is distributed without totally borking the league economy and job market? i dont know.

it's also worth noting that of the top 6 on the list, 3 of them made their vast wealth from writing media

How'd the other 3 make their vast wealth? Is there a secret ISFL black market we don't know about?

yes we made our money doing the draft gfx the reason i'm so far ahead is because i basically did them on my own for a few seasons.

No it was definitely the black market
