You are a great example of the difference between wealth and income - and the reason that we can’t conflate the two. There are lots of people who are wealthy - but their wealth is tied up in land or a business that would be difficult to sell - in your case, mineral rights you CAN’T sell, they are tied up in trust. (And you aren’t a 1%er - because that’s income - and if I’m reading your post correctly, you currently aren’t seeing any income from your wealth, just expenses).
Then there are people who have really nice incomes, but no wealth because they’ve never saved it. Maybe they are horrible spendthrifts who spend their money irresponsibly - maybe they donate it to charity, or have huge medical bills, or support multiple households.
Most people who have large incomes can - over time - amass wealth, but most people won’t have large incomes for long enough for that over time to take effect (and frankly, a lot of people don’t have discipline or even the desire if they had the income for long enough - money is made to be spent …money is like manure, its not worth a thing unless its spread around encouraging young things to grow.) And most people with wealth can liquidate their wealth to create spendable cash for …well until the wealth runs out. But neither of these things is a given.
