>> or is everybody getting richer but the rich get richer faster? There is some truth to this statement. Just a few years ago (20018), the US added a record number of millionaires: The number of millionaire households in the U.S. jumped by more than 700,000 last year, thanks to surging stock prices and housing values, according to a new report. The U.S. now has more than 11 million millionaire households, according to Spectrem Group, up more than 6 percent from 2016. The number of new millionaires and the total population of millionaires set records. Spectrem defines millionaire households as those with at least $1 million in investible assets, not including primary residence. Since the financial crisis, the number of millionaire households has nearly doubled. In 2009, there were just under 6 million millionaire households. It’s grown every year since, and is now well past the precrisis level of 9 million millionaires. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/21/us-added-700000-new-millionaires-in-2017.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/21/us-added-700000-new-milliona...
