Meanwhile, some people complain that the wealth of Henry Sy and family alone is already X percent of GDP or the entire output of the Philippines, public and private, for one year. This is a terribly wrong analysis. The wealth of Sy and other tycoons were built over a period of three or four decades or even longer while GDP is national output for one year. The numerator is big because it is accumulated wealth for many years whereas the denominator is output for one year. They are incomparable.
