    That may be as it is, but that does not make the richest 5% of any population middle class.

      It absolutely does when 90% of the wealth is grouped in the top one or two percent.

      The difference between a millionaire and a homeless person is tiny compared to the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire.

        I suggest you tell the next homeless person that he’s practically a millionaire, when compared to Elon Musk, and see his face light up. He’ll thank you for the really useful reference point that practically gets him off the street.

          I agree with you that he’s better off than most people, but do you consider a boomer who bought a house for $150k in 1980, that’s now work $1m in 2023, to be upper class? Technically there’s plenty of upper middle class people worth $1-2m.
