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~~ EDIT: I meant to say the total asset value.? 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?
No
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).
