As of Christmas Eve, the top ten tech giants in the United States hold nearly $2.5 trillion in real cash—covering cash, stocks, and various investments. This figure is nearly $600 billion more than the $1.9 trillion at the beginning of the year, representing a substantial growth.

During the same period, the S&P 500 index increased by over 18%, but the wealth growth of these individuals clearly outpaced the market. Interestingly, even though there was a recent pullback due to concerns over the AI bubble, their asset values on paper continued to rise. The reason is simple—billions of dollars worldwide are pouring into AI chips, data centers, and related product development. As long as you're riding the wave, wealth growth becomes a natural outcome.

This reflects a reality: in the wave of technological innovation, the concentration of wealth among leading players is continuously increasing. Whether for market observers or investors, this is a signal worth pondering.

Pigs on the wind vane are indeed different; a 600 billion growth rate is incredible. The AI chip market is too tempting; whoever positions themselves correctly will win. It's another case of wealth concentration; the gap between rich and poor is an endless topic. This is the real wealth creation machine; ordinary people can only watch. The top players are eating the meat, and we can't even get the soup.

Laughing to death, it's that same "standing at the wind's edge" magic theory again. The problem is we can't even touch the edge of the wind. 2.5 trillion outperforming the market? Bro, this isn't stock trading, it's printing money. The AI bubble is so big, when it bursts, us retail investors will probably be at the bottom. This is what they call the Matthew Effect, everyone. The rich get richer, and we get... less and less money. Just looking at the numbers gives me a headache. The gap is falling faster than my sense of humor.

Damn, 600 billion directly credited, and our group of retail investors are still looking at K-line charts. When the wind blows, pigs will fly, let alone being the creators of the wind themselves. Elon Musk and others are eating the meat, while we can't even get the soup. The AI boom really only benefits the top players; the grassroots investors will always be at the bottom. 2.5 trillion, this number sounds like science fiction. Standing at the top of the pyramid is just awesome; the rules were set by them in the first place. The concentration of wealth is increasing, and it feels like the gap between rich and poor is reaching a new height. That's why everyone should go all-in on tech stocks, there's no other choice.

Even pigs can fly at the right opportunity, let alone these people 2.5 trillion? That's outrageous, this is the secret to wealth Standing with the right team can really help you win effortlessly, the AI trend is blowing too strong When can ordinary people also share a piece of the pie? The richer the rich get, the poorer I become, totally reasonable Should we also get into chips? Just kidding... This is what you call the winner takes all, there's nothing we can do
