Stocks/real estate investments have astronomical values, due to getting the inflows of commercial/central bank money.
But if this money was cashed out, it would drive up consumed goods, the same way it now drives up stocks and real estate.
You reference hyperinflation needing an increase in the money supply, and there was. The prices of consumer goods didn't rise because it all was funneled into investments.
The illusion can only continue on, if:
a) the investors never cash out. The richest just earn, and earn, and earn, but literally can't consume.
b) the average worker/consumer accepts the fiat values as legitimate, because of inequality.
