wealth hoarding
Amassing excessive money
Wealth hoarding describes the accumulation of money or assets far beyond what one could reasonably spend, often with the implication that such concentration is harmful to society.
The term carries critical connotations, suggesting that the wealthy are sitting on resources others need: Billionaire wealth hoarding is driving inequality.
Unlike saving or investing, hoarding implies the wealth serves no productive purpose—it's simply kept.
