Residents of the United States consider those Americans rich who have an average fortune of more than $ 2.2 million.

These are the results of the annual survey from the financial company Charles Schwab.

Inflation has also forced many Americans to reassess their views. If last year US citizens with an “average” fortune of more than $1.9 million were considered rich, then in twelve months this figure increased by $0.3 million.

Where do you live affects your choice?

It is interesting that people called the highest state if they live in big cities. The “IT” city of San Francisco, ahead of even New York and Washington, became the leader in terms of indicators.

Residents of the district in sunny California are just guided by the fact that fellow citizens can be considered rich if their fortune exceeds $ 5.1 million. While people with 1.7 million dollars are considered with a “comfortable” financial condition.

The American capital was only in fourth place in this indicator – Washington residents believe that the rich should have at least $3.3 million. The cities of Southern California tied for second place, including Los Angeles and San Diego, where the wealth threshold is $3.9 million.

In the Big Apple, residents settled at $3.4 million. The lowest threshold among the 12 cities where the study was conducted was in Denver – $ 2.3 million.
