- 0:47Speaker 1: podcasts about the global economy. It is Thursday, November twelve,
- 0:51Speaker 1: and I'm Tory Stillwell, an economics reporter with Bloomberg News
- 0:54Speaker 1: in d C. And I'm joined this week by my
- 0:56Speaker 1: co host, Akiedo, our editor for Benchmark in San Francisco,
- 1:00Speaker 1: and Dan is taking the day off to prepare for
- 1:03Speaker 1: his big move to New York. So it's just me
- 1:05Speaker 1: and Ywauki. Tori, how's it going pretty good? Do you
- 1:08Speaker 1: want to tell everyone about your Hawaiian adventure. Oh my gosh. Yeah,
- 1:13Speaker 1: I almost called in from Hawaii today where I was
- 1:16Speaker 1: on vacation, but sadly, I'm now back in reality. While
- 1:21Speaker 1: you were in Hawaii, did you have a chance to
- 1:24Speaker 1: follow some of the riveting monetary policy proceedings that happened.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I did see this one which definitely surprised me. It went,
- 1:36Speaker 1: God wants Yellen to delay rate hike to spring, lawmaker says, um.
- 1:42Speaker 1: This was Brad Sherman, who is a California Democrat and
- 1:46Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, and it was at a congressional
- 1:50Speaker 1: hearing where lawmakers were asking Janet Yellen fed chair all
- 1:55Speaker 1: these questions. Let's play the tape. God's plan is not
- 1:59Speaker 1: for things to rise in the autumn a matter of fact,
- 2:04Speaker 1: that's why we call it fall. Nor is it God's
- 2:07Speaker 1: plan for things to rise in the winter through the snow.
- 2:12Speaker 1: God's plan is that things rise in the spring, and
- 2:16Speaker 1: so if you want to be good with the Almighty,
- 2:19Speaker 1: you might want to delay until May. Okay, So was
- 2:25Speaker 1: it the nuttiest thing you've ever heard in a congressional hearing? Yeah, No,
- 2:30Speaker 1: that was the best. I think that just that's just
- 2:32Speaker 1: like quote of the century in terms of monetary policy.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe there are better quotes, but incredible. Yeah.
- 2:38Speaker 1: And we should also note that after the hearing, Brad
- 2:41Speaker 1: German went on Twitter and said, don't actually think God
- 2:45Speaker 1: has an opinion on monetary policy, but if she did,
- 2:50Speaker 1: she with a capital s she would agree that the
- 2:53Speaker 1: EFFENC shouldn't increase rates in winter. Yeah. I think next
- 2:57Speaker 1: time maybe we could make a sacrifice to a follow
- 3:00Speaker 1: or something like that, like get some other deities involved here,
- 3:04Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Get all the gods on
- 3:07Speaker 1: our side. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So the context of
- 3:10Speaker 1: this is that the Federal Reserve is about to raise
- 3:13Speaker 1: interest rates. A lot of people think that this interest
- 3:16Speaker 1: rate hike is going to come in December next month,
- 3:20Speaker 1: so uh, you know, yelling is starting to come under
- 3:24Speaker 1: pressure from a lot of lawmakers to delay that um
- 3:27Speaker 1: And that's not surprise, right, It's it's not every day
- 3:30Speaker 1: that monetary policy is involved in these divine discussions, But
- 3:35Speaker 1: it's no surprise at all that a lot of people
- 3:39Speaker 1: want interest rates to stay at zero forever. At the
- 3:42Speaker 1: same time, a lot of people are pushing for interest
- 3:46Speaker 1: rates to be hyped sooner rather than later, especially some
- 3:50Speaker 1: of the more conservative leaning legislators who think that the
- 3:54Speaker 1: FED is really playing with fire here and they got
- 3:58Speaker 1: a little bit more ammunition. Or I guess maybe God
- 4:01Speaker 1: has a little bit working against him or her. I
- 4:03Speaker 1: don't I don't know. But the job's report came in, uh,
- 4:08Speaker 1: pretty strong for October. Payrolls were the strongest this year
- 4:12Speaker 1: two one, and wages were up two point five percent
- 4:16Speaker 1: from the year before, and that is a clear break
- 4:19Speaker 1: from the wage worth pattern that we've seen since the
- 4:21Speaker 1: recovery started. Really great news there, and if the trend
- 4:25Speaker 1: of higher wages continues, that'd be great news because it
- 4:28Speaker 1: helped alleviate some of the increase in income inequality that
- 4:31Speaker 1: we've seen over the past few years. And you know,
- 4:33Speaker 1: we've been hearing a lot about income inequality. Angus Deton,
- 4:36Speaker 1: who we spoke with a couple of weeks back when
- 4:38Speaker 1: the Nobel Prize this year, after doing research on it.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Herschiko started it late last month as something that's actually
- 4:44Speaker 1: hurting their sales, and it seems like every US presidential
- 4:47Speaker 1: candidate is being asked what they do to fix it.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Tori on the show, we've talked about average wages, we've
- 4:53Speaker 1: talked about median wages, but we haven't really talked about
- 4:57Speaker 1: the fact that the fates for the rich and the
- 4:59Speaker 1: poor the book, who are on opposite ends of the spectrum,
- 5:02Speaker 1: have been really different in how they're diversion. So hopefully
- 5:06Speaker 1: for today's episode, we'll be able to talk about what
- 5:09Speaker 1: it takes to be rich in America. Today. Well, let's
- 5:13Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about these income tears for
- 5:17Speaker 1: the quote rich and the quote core. Uh, let's break
- 5:20Speaker 1: those down a little bit. And we talked to our
- 5:24Speaker 1: data guru, Waylu. She's based in New York and crunches
- 5:27Speaker 1: just incredible amounts of census data for us. She's just
- 5:31Speaker 1: amazing at it. And she told me that Bloomberg generally
- 5:35Speaker 1: defines riches the top twenty of incomes and inteen you
- 5:41Speaker 1: were by that definition, you were rich if you made
- 5:43Speaker 1: a little over a hundred and twelve thousand dollars, if
- 5:46Speaker 1: that's what your household income was. By contrast, the bottom
- 5:50Speaker 1: twenty percent, you're in that bottom twenty if you your
- 5:54Speaker 1: household made about twenty one five hundred dollars. So there's
- 5:57Speaker 1: about a one hundred thousand dollar different, right, It's pretty big,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and poverty at the way low end of the spectrum.
- 6:05Speaker 1: A single person is living in poverty if they make
- 6:08Speaker 1: about eleven thousand, seven hundred seventy dollars or less a year.
- 6:11Speaker 1: So I feel like that's really low for the poverty line.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I mean eleven thousand dollars a year. It depends on
- 6:18Speaker 1: how many people are living in the household. To the
- 6:20Speaker 1: more people you have, the threshold gets a little higher. Um.
- 6:24Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's mind blowing that someone could could
- 6:27Speaker 1: survive on that limited amount of money, you know, Tori.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Why does it matter if the rich are earning a
- 6:34Speaker 1: bigger share of the pie the way they have been
- 6:36Speaker 1: over the last twenty years. I mean, if the pie
- 6:38Speaker 1: is getting bigger and on average people are earning more,
- 6:43Speaker 1: doesn't really matter if some people are taking more and
- 6:46Speaker 1: more of the pie than others. I think the main
- 6:50Speaker 1: reason people are concerned about it is because we know
- 6:53Speaker 1: that poor people spend a much larger proportion of their
- 6:58Speaker 1: incomes in their paychecks than rich people do. And to
- 7:02Speaker 1: kind of illustrate this, I have some data, of course, um,
- 7:06Speaker 1: and it's it's actually kind of striking. The first time
- 7:08Speaker 1: I looked at it, I got it mixed up. Because
- 7:11Speaker 1: the numbers are so crazy. But so for the lowest
- 7:14Speaker 1: twenty percentile of income, their income before taxes was about
- 7:19Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars in the year ended June. This is
- 7:24Speaker 1: coming from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about ten thousand dollars.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Think of that, their average annual expenditures for that same
- 7:31Speaker 1: amount of time was about twenty three thousand dollars. So
- 7:35Speaker 1: they're going in like huge amounts of debt here based
- 7:37Speaker 1: on their income UM. By contrast, the highest twentieth percentile,
- 7:42Speaker 1: their income before taxes is about a hundred sixty six thousand,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and they're spending about a hundred and one thousand UM,
- 7:49Speaker 1: so much smaller sharing. So they're just they're just not
- 7:53Speaker 1: spending as much, right, and they spend on totally different
- 7:57Speaker 1: things um. Where people often spend much more money on
- 8:01Speaker 1: food and housing, whereas wealthier people will funnel a lot
- 8:05Speaker 1: more money into things like pensions and insurance UM. So
- 8:08Speaker 1: a lot of economists have talked about this as a
- 8:11Speaker 1: reason as to why the recovery may have been so weak,
- 8:15Speaker 1: because we've got, you know, this concentration of wealth and
- 8:19Speaker 1: these people aren't spending it as much as I should say, right,
- 8:23Speaker 1: so there's normal person rich and then there's rich person rich,
- 8:28Speaker 1: which is kind of that seems like an alien universe
- 8:32Speaker 1: to me. But do you want to go over those
- 8:33Speaker 1: numbers too waylou Again, our data guru told me that
- 8:37Speaker 1: that super rich is going to be like the top
- 8:40Speaker 1: five percent of household incomes and that was about a
- 8:44Speaker 1: little over two hundred and six thousand dollars for a household.
- 8:49Speaker 1: The ultra rich is going to be like the top
- 8:52Speaker 1: one percent. And for that data, I am going over
- 8:55Speaker 1: to UH to E p I. They wrote this big,
- 8:57Speaker 1: big report at the start of the year UM looking
- 9:01Speaker 1: at income inequality trends for for decades. For the US,
- 9:06Speaker 1: the average income of the top one percent was about
- 9:09Speaker 1: one point three million dollars. If we want to think
- 9:13Speaker 1: like out of your mind rich, like stupid amount of
- 9:16Speaker 1: money wrenching. Uh. The threshold there, the income threshold of
- 9:22Speaker 1: the top point zero one person is nine point nine
- 9:25Speaker 1: million dollars. Uh. We're gonna take a quick break for
- 9:28Speaker 1: a word from our sponsor, but when we come back,
- 9:31Speaker 1: we will try to add some color to all these
- 9:33Speaker 1: numbers that I just spouted off. You know, we want
- 9:35Speaker 1: to attach real people to them, and why we plebeians
- 9:38Speaker 1: would even care after the break? What do traders want
- 9:44Speaker 1: to limit risk? Access every opportunity and trade on a
- 9:47Speaker 1: level playing field. Nate x binary options let you set

- 10:26Speaker 1: a little more what these people are like, like what
- 10:29Speaker 1: kind of lifestyles they must have. We've drafted Caleb Melby,
- 10:33Speaker 1: a reporter for our executive pay team whose main job
- 10:37Speaker 1: it is to try to figure out how much money
- 10:39Speaker 1: people are making. And before he was with us here
- 10:41Speaker 1: at Bloomberg, he was a reporter at Forbes, where he
- 10:44Speaker 1: got the license to run around the country hunting for
- 10:46Speaker 1: hidden billionaires, which he also does here, and before that
- 10:50Speaker 1: he was an intern in New York living in the
- 10:52Speaker 1: same dorm as me. Hello, Caleb, what what are these
- 10:56Speaker 1: people like? Hey? I mean it was interesting listening you
- 10:59Speaker 1: talk about that, that that top tier, that that million
- 11:03Speaker 1: what was a million and a half? Is that what
- 11:07Speaker 1: you're thinking about? Yeah, So, so to give you an idea,
- 11:10Speaker 1: like how much farther beyond that percentage point, uh you
- 11:14Speaker 1: can go? I mean, uh, at at the Bloomberg Pay Index,
- 11:17Speaker 1: we're tracking uh the two d highest paid people and uh,
- 11:22Speaker 1: they're they're making each of them upwards of twenty million
- 11:25Speaker 1: dollars a year. And when you were talking earlier about
- 11:28Speaker 1: how they spend that money on different things, they're they're
- 11:31Speaker 1: point in pensions, they're pointing in in insurance. I mean
- 11:35Speaker 1: that's simply because it's really hard to try to figure
- 11:38Speaker 1: out how to spend all that money, and a lot
- 11:41Speaker 1: of them really defer it and often in uh tax
- 11:44Speaker 1: advantaged ways, um sock it away for the future. I
- 11:49Speaker 1: feel like it is not that hard for me to
- 11:51Speaker 1: figure out how to spend a couple of million dollars UM.
- 11:54Speaker 1: So I don't want to sound too sympathetic, No, I
- 12:00Speaker 1: don't mean mean to be uh to ask you to
- 12:03Speaker 1: feel an overwhelming amount of empathy for them. These are
- 12:07Speaker 1: very specialized problems. I was I was in one billionaire's
- 12:11Speaker 1: apartment about a month ago, and I won't to tell
- 12:14Speaker 1: you who it was, but he was he was obsessed,
- 12:17Speaker 1: um with trying to figure out how to pass his
- 12:19Speaker 1: international company onto his heirs in this tax efficient way.
- 12:24Speaker 1: And that's one of those things that you really see
- 12:26Speaker 1: occupying their thoughts. Your your your normal person is trying
- 12:30Speaker 1: to figure out how to stock away enough for retirement
- 12:33Speaker 1: and and for them, it's how do I take everything
- 12:36Speaker 1: I've sucked away and pass it on to the next
- 12:40Speaker 1: generation of familial ownership. How many billionaires have you met
- 12:45Speaker 1: in your life? Uh? You know I I've been to
- 12:49Speaker 1: conferences where there's there's dozens of them. So at this point,
- 12:53Speaker 1: your who's my favorite? There's a really colorful character out
- 12:58Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. His name is David will lent Us. He
- 13:01Speaker 1: essentially built the neighborhood of Dumbo, this uh chic industrial
- 13:06Speaker 1: neighborhood right on the water. And he's this really crass, funny,
- 13:13Speaker 1: brash guy. Who who Who's the first to admit that
- 13:16Speaker 1: you do not have to be a genius to make
- 13:19Speaker 1: it in real estate. And I find I find his
- 13:22Speaker 1: honesty very very um exciting and new, and as far
- 13:28Speaker 1: as billionaires go, he's the sort of guy you can
- 13:30Speaker 1: talk to and don't feel like you're talking to an alien.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Tell us more about your job, what do you do
- 13:36Speaker 1: every day? More often than now we are we are
- 13:39Speaker 1: not meeting executives. We are not meeting billionaires. That's not
- 13:43Speaker 1: what our day and day out looks like. It does
- 13:45Speaker 1: happen sometimes, and and that's that's fun. But normally people
- 13:49Speaker 1: are not particularly interested unless you're talking about, say Donald Trump,
- 13:54Speaker 1: uh in talking about what they make or how much
- 13:57Speaker 1: they're worth. So we spend a lot of our time
- 13:59Speaker 1: talking into off the record sources, former employees, insiders, going
- 14:05Speaker 1: through documents, making Foyer requests to the government to unseal
- 14:10Speaker 1: certain documents or acquire certain documents that help shed light
- 14:13Speaker 1: on these massive fortunes that are at the center of
- 14:17Speaker 1: you know, the world economy. You've met Donald Trump, right, yeah,
- 14:21Speaker 1: a few times now, and he's called you what was what?
- 14:24Speaker 1: What was that that he called you Donald after we
- 14:28Speaker 1: published a story, said Donald, Mr Trump, after we published
- 14:36Speaker 1: a story putting his net worth at two point nine
- 14:39Speaker 1: billion came out in in the Daily Mail, and he,
- 14:42Speaker 1: according to the Daily Mail story, said I was a
- 14:44Speaker 1: dopey kid and wet behind the ears. Sounds that right, Yeah,
- 14:51Speaker 1: he's He's not not a guy who who takes slights
- 14:55Speaker 1: light lightly. By the way, how much what is Donald
- 14:58Speaker 1: Trump's network earth compared to the approximately ten billion that
- 15:03Speaker 1: he has self reported to the media, So we we
- 15:07Speaker 1: put him at two point nine billion as opposed to
- 15:11Speaker 1: that ten billion, and uh, one really big way to
- 15:13Speaker 1: account for a large part of that gap is the
- 15:16Speaker 1: three point three billion he ascribes to his brand value
- 15:19Speaker 1: that he considers like it a line item all onto itself, um,
- 15:24Speaker 1: which is certainly a really special asset to have. And
- 15:28Speaker 1: when we talked to experts, we uh they said that
- 15:31Speaker 1: for like his uh, you know, collection of golf courses,
- 15:34Speaker 1: there is a Trump premium. It means something to play
- 15:38Speaker 1: golf on a on a Trump course, and and that
- 15:41Speaker 1: that's applied to our valuation of those golf courses. But
- 15:44Speaker 1: when you look at certain things like say Trump Tower
- 15:48Speaker 1: here in New York, a lot of that is condos
- 15:50Speaker 1: that he's since sold off long ago. So you see
- 15:52Speaker 1: that huge skyscraper you assume it has to be worth
- 15:55Speaker 1: a lot of money, and it is, but there's actually
- 15:58Speaker 1: hundreds of other people that have sentach chunks of what
- 16:02Speaker 1: what a skyscraper like that is worth? And what would
- 16:05Speaker 1: you say that your brand value is, Caleb, my my
- 16:11Speaker 1: brand value is? I mean, can I get a Chipotle burrito? Yeah? Man,
- 16:19Speaker 1: after my own heart. So, Caleb, you and I have
- 16:22Speaker 1: talked about this a little a little bit last week,
- 16:25Speaker 1: but I was chatting with a friend and he actually
- 16:29Speaker 1: got a little a little hot and bothered because some
- 16:32Speaker 1: of your colleagues, all of our colleagues, broke this news
- 16:36Speaker 1: about a Walmart air being twenty seven billion dollars poor
- 16:41Speaker 1: than everyone else thought. And he was mad because he
- 16:45Speaker 1: basically said, I mean the like the cliff Notes version
- 16:48Speaker 1: is we're being nosy. Why does it matter they're still billionaires?
- 16:53Speaker 1: And why would we like splash this all over the
- 16:56Speaker 1: front page of our website? So rude, et cetera. Um,
- 17:00Speaker 1: there's no journalistic value in this. What is the journalistic value?
- 17:05Speaker 1: It's a fair question. And is somebody who when he
- 17:07Speaker 1: was in college imagined he'd be writing album reviews his
- 17:10Speaker 1: whole life? Uh? I like, I I definitely sympathize with him.
- 17:14Speaker 1: But the report that David DeYoung and Tom Metcalf put
- 17:18Speaker 1: out on Christie Walton and her son Lucas Walton, I
- 17:22Speaker 1: encourage anybody to go out and read it. And the
- 17:25Speaker 1: question as to what news value this has, I think
- 17:28Speaker 1: becomes once you get past that headline number pretty relevant.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I mean, you have this family that controls what is
- 17:35Speaker 1: currently I believe, like the third the second biggest company
- 17:39Speaker 1: in America UM, and how they divvy up that fortune
- 17:43Speaker 1: and how they control it, and in turn, how they
- 17:45Speaker 1: control Walmart Company, I think is inherently newsworthy. And as
- 17:50Speaker 1: you dig farther into that story, what David and Tom
- 17:53Speaker 1: uncovered was this fascinating estate structure that helped UH John Walton,
- 18:00Speaker 1: Christie's UH now deceased husband, essentially cut his tax bill
- 18:04Speaker 1: in half. So when we're talking about policy in terms
- 18:07Speaker 1: of income inequality, we we need to look at the
- 18:10Speaker 1: decisions we've already made as a nation in terms of
- 18:12Speaker 1: the options available to the super rich for passing these
- 18:16Speaker 1: fortunes on. You know, because one, once you you move
- 18:19Speaker 1: past that five million estate threshold, big taxes start to
- 18:24Speaker 1: kick in, and yet we still have all these loopholes.
- 18:27Speaker 1: And I think if you droll into that story, beyond
- 18:29Speaker 1: the fact that there's this guy who nobody has really
- 18:32Speaker 1: ever heard of or talked about, Lucas Walton, who has
- 18:35Speaker 1: most of what we thought was his mother Christie's fortune,
- 18:38Speaker 1: what you see is this really interesting passing of the
- 18:41Speaker 1: torch that helped avoid a lot of taxes for the
- 18:44Speaker 1: Walton family. You know, I think this really comes down
- 18:47Speaker 1: to the fact that it's really hard to know how
- 18:51Speaker 1: much everyone's wealth is. You know, wealth is different from income.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Income is what you make every year, but wealth is
- 18:57Speaker 1: the amount of money that you accumulated over a lifetime.
- 19:01Speaker 1: It's all over the place, often in multiple countries if
- 19:05Speaker 1: you're a rich person, the way many of Caleb subjects are,
- 19:09Speaker 1: and so it's really it's it's not a very transparent universe.
- 19:13Speaker 1: That's why I think your team, Caleb is really cool,
- 19:15Speaker 1: because you're bringing more transparency to this space. Yeah, and
- 19:20Speaker 1: I mean we I've talked to readers about our stories before,
- 19:23Speaker 1: and some of them are just interested in those big numbers.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Some of them are interested in those entrepreneurial stories. Some
- 19:29Speaker 1: of them are interested in those, uh, the tax strategies,
- 19:33Speaker 1: the way they allocate that wealth like you were describing Aki,
- 19:37Speaker 1: and probably for our readers, like keeping up with the
- 19:39Speaker 1: Jones is to like how close am I think? Absolutely?
- 19:42Speaker 1: How how close am I I could be them? Um?
- 19:46Speaker 1: If you dig into any major wealth story, there's almost
- 19:50Speaker 1: always some element of luck, which I think keeps us
- 19:53Speaker 1: all reading because we always hope that maybe we could
- 19:55Speaker 1: have that. Especially in the era of tech startups with
- 19:59Speaker 1: Unicorn and valuations, we're all kind of hoping that we
- 20:02Speaker 1: have that next billion dollar idea, right. But I feel
- 20:04Speaker 1: like in today's society, if anything, people feel like they're
- 20:08Speaker 1: even farther away from that goal of becoming rich than
- 20:12Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe people fifty years ago. I feel
- 20:15Speaker 1: like that sense of the American dream really went down
- 20:18Speaker 1: the toilet in two thousand eight. Yeah, I get that
- 20:22Speaker 1: sense too. But what what? What's interesting, only only ever
- 20:25Speaker 1: having done this beat post two thousand and eight, is
- 20:28Speaker 1: that um hunger for these these stories hasn't gone away
- 20:32Speaker 1: for one reason or another. UM either because it feels
- 20:36Speaker 1: so far away and so foreign, almost like it's a
- 20:39Speaker 1: fairy tale. Maybe that's the case, or maybe there's something
- 20:41Speaker 1: aspirational in it, but readers keep on keep on company
- 20:45Speaker 1: these stories and droves. Well, here's hoping that we all
- 20:49Speaker 1: have the luck to be millionaires and billionaires one day.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Or Caleb, if you're the one who makes it, that
- 20:55Speaker 1: you share some with me. I have preferably in chili potel.
- 21:01Speaker 1: I have some ideas right now. If Mark Andreason is listening,
- 21:04Speaker 1: I'd love to pitch him. Thanks again for listening to
