    That’s not correct.

    The average wealth in this country is ~250k a person

      Yeah their number sounded really high, but fuck it hurt to see 250k as well. Do I count as 0 or a negative number if I have more debt than my possessions are worth?

        I think 0 EDIT: I meant to say the total asset value.? I’m not sure. I think the number came from total wealth as an object, not total net worth.

      Could still be correct, average is heavily skewed by the millionaires/billionaires.

        No. No way. A million a person would mean $325 ish TRILLION for just the US. I think that’s around half the global wealth?
