Mean household income is not a very good statistic to compare year-over-year given the massive growth in single-earner households since the 1960s (wealthier people had less of a trend away from two-earner households, while the poorest were by far most likely to be in single-earner households to begin with).

With that caveat in mind, amusingly, almost all the gain for "the rich" in that graph comes during the Clinton years, with a decline sharper than everyone else's since then.

Any reason you didn't post this on the economics board?   I don't know about others, but if I'm on the FC board I'm not in the same mood to analyze data as when I'm visiting the board that's on topic.

The top 5% and the "botton quintile" have been BONED since 2000.  The rest of us slightly less so.

Losing 20% of one's income in a decade isn't getting boned?

No, if what's left of such income makes it still higher than the income of 95% of the population.
