    Very recently I came across an article about "homoploutia".
    Sounds like a brand new word, hasn't even been anglicised (yet), and
    remains unknown in other languages, in wiki anyway (apart from Finnish,
    I see now:). That seems also very possible, given the kind of people it
    describes...
    How "new" would it be?

    it's an English word, according to
    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/homoploutia
    (economics) The situation in which the same people are wealthy in the
    space of capital and labor income




    Branko Milanovic @BrankoMilan
    Homoploutia is a neologism I invented (after some consultation w/my Greek friends).

    It indicates that the same people (homo) are wealthy (ploutia) is [in] the space of capital & labor; your neighborly CEO who is in the top 1% by labor income and also in the top 1% by shares he owns.
