Swedish term
samlades på hög
I would simply say "accumulated at the top."
However anyone have any alternative (i.e. perhaps better) suggestions?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
piled up
a figurative expression would be "piled up" but otherwise I would use "accumulated" (without the "on top") or "amassed".
if the context is that a single person was collecting the pile opf momney maybe "hoarded/-ing" would work

correction:
if the context is that a single person was collecting the pile of money, perhaps "hoarded/-ing" would work
As the money piled up, rumours began to circulate that some students...
Most wealthy people amassed money by concentrating on gathering a specific type of income
