Money is power. The rich collect political power and business equity and use it to shape society. And, more often than not, their wealth is made by skimming off the top from the labor of their much poorer workers (the exceptions are highly-payed athletes and entertainers, and even then, a lot of their wealth comes from investments, which are usually profits from other people's labor).
