That’s not correct.

The average wealth in this country is ~250k a person

Yeah their number sounded really high, but fuck it hurt to see 250k as well. Do I count as 0 or a negative number if I have more debt than my possessions are worth?

I think 0? I’m not sure. I think the number came from total wealth as an object, not total net worth.

Could still be correct, average is heavily skewed by the millionaires/billionaires.

No. No way. A million a person would mean $325 ish TRILLION for just the US. I think that’s around half the global wealth?

So you’re saying we just need more economic imperialism?

The median income is supposedly around 64k, which already paints a different picture.

The average wealth could be $1,990,000 and they’d still be incorrect, lol (assuming the minimum value for “multimilion”, $2 million).
