Comment on Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation?

No. Governments (Central banks usually in charge of this) try to create mild inflation to discourage hoarding money.
The rich also don’t horde money, they hoard assets. Usually stocks in companies.
Inflation is caused by there being more and more money in circulation competing for the same stuff, or less stuff produced.
Wealth inequality cause a lot of problems, inflation is not one of them.
