21 2 ReplyTop 10% of the US population has a net worth of 4 million? That does not seem right.

That seems about right to me. A lot will be tied up so liquid assets will be lower.
The 50% upwards middle class being $400,000 will mostly be the value of a house.
Very annoying they just specify "average". I'd expect this data to be based on the median values so it should just say.
