US Net Worth Percentiles by Age (Patreon)

Fascinating chart floating around X. Some like to know where they rank or stand. I know I do. Always have.

For example if you want to be in the top 10% and you are age 45 to 49, you need a net worth of about 1.4M. This nearly doubles if you are 5 years old.

Some interesting findings

• The amount of money you need to be in the top 10% (90th percentile) grows a lot as you get older.

• Wealthiest group in top 1% are aged 65-69 and worth $22M

• After age 50, the growth in net worth slows down.

• 2021 appears to be the year of highest income across most percentiles. This was also the period of most money printing due to Covid. No coincidence.

• Top 1% and 0.1% made the most of their money, in the years 1990 to 2021.

• Sadly, the gap between top earners and the rest has widened significantly over time.
