Can you share a source? Of course the top 5% of _earners_ would pay more, but that's not necessarily the same crew as the top 5% in net worth. And 5% is a large share of the population. I'd be more interested in the top 1% of 1% in terms of wealth.
Indeed GP is falsely equating "wealthiest" with "highest taxable income".
They are likely referring to a stat like this: https://usafacts.org/articles/who-pays-the-most-income-tax/
