This will be the closest for you to determine:

https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

The number is between 1 and the Number of Addresses holding coins. Several addresses can be owned by one user so its practically impossible to determine how much a given person actually owns. Unless you know all their addresses.

What this table shows is how poorly distributed bitcoin still is. To be expected given the Pareto principle.

I would assume this is expected to change in the future. As the price increases people will sell either for fiat or for assets.
If you look at the block halvings schedule we are still VERY early in the game.

YEARS	BLOCK REWARD	COINS DISTRIBUTED	TOTAL DISTRIBUTED
2009-2012	50	210,000 blocks = 10,500,000	10,500,000
2012-2016	25	210,000 blocks = 5,250,000	15,750,000	<-- We're still way up here
2016-2020	12.5	210,000 blocks = 2,625,000	18,375,000
2020-2024	6.25	210,000 blocks = 1,312,500	19,687,500
2024-2028	3.125	210,000 blocks = 656,250	20,343,750
2028-2032	1.5625	210,000 blocks = 328,125	20,671,875
