This doesnt line up with the source data...

It sorta seems like they picked random people lol

Also they are mixing together actual wealth with people's unrealized wealth....

Unrealized wealth isn’t a thing though. You’re mixing it up with unrealized gains (edit: an already quite dubious concept) Stock is wealth, just like your house.
