Abstract

Privater Reichtum in Deutschland nimmt zu. Seit Beginn der 1990er Jahre leben immer mehr reiche und sehr reiche Personen in Deutschland. Die Reichen und vor allem die sehr Reichen konnten zudem, anders als der Rest der Bevölkerung, in den letzten Jahrzehnten ihre Einkommens- wie auch ihre Vermögenssituation weiter ver-bessern. Selbst die Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise hat diese Entwicklungen nicht nachhaltig geändert. Gleichzeitig nimmt seit den 1990er Jahren die Mobilität in der Einkommensverteilung immer weiter ab. Diese Verfestigung des Einkommensgefüges führt dazu, dass sich das Risiko, aus der gehobenen sozialen Lage in die Mitte der Gesellschaft abzusteigen, für die Reichen und sehr Reichen zunehmend verringert.
