There are sufficient resources to feed everyone on the planet currently, yet we don't. A future where everyone owns their own yacht and robot fleet is completely out of the bounds of realistic expectation.

Robots can (and already partially do) make more robots.

When the AI is good enough for them to genuinely replace all human labour, it's good enough for them to be von Neumann replicators; at that point equality is more about human psychology — greed vs charity — than practicalities.
