How it is calculated
For each date we read every account on the XRP Ledger as it was in the first ledger of that day and built the same histogram used by today's distribution. That way the top 1% is calculated the same way on every date.
A wallet is not a person: someone can have several, and an exchange wallet holds the XRP of thousands of customers. So the comparison is between accounts, not people. Needing less XRP for the top 1% also reflects that there are far more accounts than before.
See which top you are in today, and which one you would have been in before, with the calculator.
