Rush Limbaugh, were he still with us, would beg to differ.

This is largely driven by Wall Street and the financial managers there

true, a lot of wealth shifted to the top, due to more greedy business/politicians than good guy like president trump.

but due to those tax dodges, nyc will be propped up to ensure this lasts forever, nyc is too big to fail like d.c will last until we are no more

If you’re a millionaire, you’re likely to have several homes.

Or just be nearing retirement or recently retired. Lots of basic tradesmen with a single residence have accumulated that much wealth (not counting the residence).

If it includes real estate and immovable assets

---

The article states they are including ‘liquid’ assets as well as investments. They are not including real estate. Roth IRAs would appear to qualify as liquid, as would 401Ks after 59-1/2.

A million dollars ain’t what it used to be. Seriously doubt that most “millionaires” in NY own more than one home.
