If you factor in celebrity salaries and the disparity between the rich and poor in California, I would certainly have to say that yes, there is a disparity. The Gilded Age in that area has certainly been reborn and then there is the dot com billionaires and a lot of the other people who made it rich, but ended up not really doing anything other than being in the right place at the right time.

The question is, have we created such a disparity that we have picked off the middle class, wiped out the middle class that has been the economic driver of the American economy, made the country the great place that it is (or was depending on the point of view one takes).
