And how many of those are here in the US? I suspect the vast majority. It really isn’t that difficult to amass a net worth of 1 million, esp for farmers and business owners.

“And how many of those are here in the US? “

I wish I’d kept this source
The average family on welfare in the US is in the top 20% of the richest people on Earth.

The truth is it does not matter how much the rich have provided the poor have enough. I think it was 2005 (Once again I should have kept a link to the source) that more people on Earth were obese than were starving. The truth is, if the left would let you hear it is that great strides are being made in feed people and raising people out of poverty. But if that is admitted them the left loses it power base

In California all you had to do was buy a house 15-20 years ago and you’d be a millionaire today.

If they are comparing everything in terms of the U.S. dollar, that is not a fair comparison. A million dollars doesn’t take you very far in parts of this country, but would do quite well in places with a low cost of living.
