updates: The number of millionaires in the US has grown to 22 million, representing 8.8% of the total population. The US added 500,000 millionaires in the past year, with this specific segment growing 7.3% in 2023. Their total wealth grew by $26.1 trillion, up 7% from 2022. Millionaires contribute to the economy by creating jobs, as many of them own businesses. Concentrations of capital among millionaires can create herd-like effects and potentially lead to an exodus from financial markets. Millionaires also impact the housing market, with luxury real estate markets surging and a growing trend of cash purchases. They contribute to consumer spending and tax revenue, although wealth concentration can contribute to income inequality.
