If it happened in 2020 in the US, women in the 99th percentile overall (household net worth over $11 million) would be marrying men in the 55th percentile (99-44) and a net worth of $160,000. Roughly speaking. I'll split the difference with you if it's no big deal.
- qzw 4y agoYou're of course correct about the percentile v. percentage difference, but it's worth highlighting that the article is only talking about landed wealth, which presumably distinguished the old money from the nouveau riche. So a more analogous (if silly) modern equivalent might be to talk about percentile of net worth held in cryptocurrencies or meme stocks.
