There were 10.1 million U.S. households with net worth of at least $1 million, last year, up from 9.6 million in 2013 and the highest level on record, according to the Spectrem Group’s “2015 Market Insights Report.”
That equates to 8.3% of all households, back on par with pre-recession levels of 8.2% in 2007.
Meanwhile, the number of households with at least $100,000 in net worth also climbed, to 39.6 million.
Some key numbers from the report include:
- There are 29 Million Mass Affluent households with a net worth between $100,000 and $1 million, an increase of more than 500,000 from the year before;
- The number of Millionaire households with a net worth between $1 million and $5 million is approaching nine million, sitting now at 8,790,000; and
- There are 1,168,000 Ultra High Net Worth households with a net worth between $5 million and $25 million NIPR.
It’s worth noting that last year, an Ipsos study noted that the number of US households with annual income of at least $100,000 has been growing, with 28% of the adult population living in such a household.
