1% own is a really bad search, so let's not blame the search engine.
First, it uses the % sign, which is often an operator. But worse, it's
too short to get a meaningful response. That Google was able to get it
on your first page probably has to do with you having browsed a story
about it recently. Especially if you have Google Desktop installed.

A much better search would be one percent own wealth, where pretty
much any engine - Bing included - will put meaningful results on page
one.
