In some areas that's true, but in others it isn't. There's only so much land, and if rich people own all the best places to live (i.e. the ones within reasonable driving range of jobs), then the poor people are stuck paying rent.

Other examples are that the rich have a disproportionate influence on the political process, have greater control of the media, and increasingly (thanks to Facebook, Google, etc.. and advances in machine learning) they have fine-grained knowledge of the opinions and preferences of whole populations, knowledge which is used specifically to influence the behavior of those people -- mostly through ad placement, but also to influence elections (e.g. the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal).
