If that was the case, you would expect there to be a few hundred-billionaires out there.

There are a few hundred billionaires out there. 5 billion barely get's you into the top 100.

Hundred-billionaire as in an individual with greater than 100 billion; not a few hundred people with greater than 1 billion.
as diversity approaches 100%, performance approaches market returns.
The question is, how long can extreme wealth remain extreme wealth? Considering the wealth gap is increasing, I would suggest forever unless there is a "market correction" like socialism or something.
