Whaddya know? If you are rich, you live longer:
Rich people live longer than poor people. No big news there - we’ve known that health tracks wealth for quite some time now.
But here’s what we haven’t known: The life-expectancy gap between rich and poor in the United States is actually accelerating.
Since 2001, American men among the nation’s most affluent 5 percent have seen their lifespans increase by more than two years. American women in that bracket have registered an almost three-year extension to their life expectancy.

You can expect this trend to continue. Only the rich get excellent health care and nutrition. And only they can afford the growing technologies which seek to combine humans with AI in the hope of achieving "immortality".
Some even are claiming death can be "reversed". You can read about it here:

Do you really think anyone will bother to do this for the poor? If anything, the powers that be would like the poor to just go away and disappear.
