Should we do a poll! Just curious (no names of course).  |
There was an article in the paper here that suggested there are about 250,000 millionaires in Canada (liquid/investment capital, not primary residence). Canada has a population of 32 million so that means that about 0.75% of us are millionaires.
So, probably about 1% of Americans are millionaires - which is right around the same number of Americans that are in jail!
Now that's brilliant symmetry. Well done.
