I know a bunch of rich people (people with net assets in the millions to 10’s or even 100’s of millions). Only one of them believes or claims the left circle. He’s a douchy failure who did nothing with his life, got a bunch of money from his parents and is now a slumlord.
The rest of them would laugh at that graph.
If you actually talk to those people some of them will admit to “bending the rules”. They don’t actually want to break any laws, because that puts them at risk, but they’ll regularly push the boundaries of the interpretation of those laws.
They also work incredibly hard. Almost everyone I know works 50+ hours per week. The richer people typically do 60+. 80+ is rare and typically only the first few years of their career while they’re trying to establish themselves.
They also realize that there is a large amount of luck involved and aren’t shy about discussing it. Some of it is birth, some of it is geographic location, some of it is the timing of external events.
Many of them never interact professionally with “the working class” at all. They’re often tech people and the entire company is full of people with 6 figure salaries. There are literally no working class people in those companies to exploit.
Their company is comprised of working class employees.
You’re confusing working poor with working class.
If you must work survive you are working class.
People earning six figure salaries are not necessarily wealthy enough to stop working and it’s more rare they can immediate retire from any future work without a major hit to quality of life.
I also question how many of those 50+ hours are real work. The rich like to include social activities as work. Anyone who claims they are always working is full of themselves.

This has been my experience also.
