[The chart says yes, but a commenter notes that:]
The top two percent, those that are really wealthy, vote Democrat by a margin of two to one.

How dare that commenter point out such inconvenient truth and ruin a major part of the whole oligarchy narrative!

..They are not aristocrats, by and large, but rather economic meritocrats, preoccupied not merely with consuming wealth but with creating it.

The debutante balls and hunts and regattas of yesteryear may not be quite obsolete, but they are headed in that direction. The real community life of the 21st-century plutocracy occurs on the international conference circuit...This geeky enthusiasm for innovation and ideas is evident at more-intimate gatherings of the global elite as well....
