    Are you talking about people with like 10s or 100s of millions or are you including people with just 1 million? In a number of places, you basically cannot easily buy a house without something approaching 1 million (which is a problem itself).

    Also, I’ve seen this statement here several times now. Where is the line? 1 million is a pretty arbitrary value, so how many thousands is too much?

        Good luck I guess. Looking it up briefly gives US families having $1+ million net worth being in the 80th or 90th percentile (depending on the source), so somewhere between 1/5 and 1/10 families.
