In my country (Germany) afaik a little over 10% of the population are at least millionaires. So I think the likelihood to have a millionaire living next door is quite high.
- he_is_legend 5y agoAnecdotal (but nevertheless true): I have (at least) two millionaire neighbours (less than 3 doors/gates away). Both won the lottery - one euromillions and one national lotto draw. And if we are talking average income, then everyone on this side of the village is a millionaire simply because of those two. However, most of the rest of us seem to struggle daily.
- tticvs 5y agoIt is actually about 1.6% of the population
- horrified 5y agoSeems I misremebered it, thanks. I found two different estimates right now, too, one for ~1.6%, one for ~0.4%. Sometimes real estate the owners live in themselves is not counted? With 1.6% the odds of having a millionaire neighbor would still be high.
- shadilay 5y agoI think almost all my neighbors are 'millionaires' but 90% have median incomes for the city. Their net worth is just their house.
