Summary
Between 2020 and 2025, the U.S. added more than two million new millionaires. But in 2026, hitting the million-dollar mark doesn’t mean what it used to. And the gap between the average millionaire and the true top 1% is far wider — and far more structural — than most people realize. In this week’s episode, I break down the actual net worth thresholds for the top 10%, top 5%, and top 1% — and more importantly, how wealth is structured at each level. Because wealth doesn’t scale linearly. It transforms structurally.
