My “Wealth Disparity Monitor”: QT, Rate Hikes, Dropping Stocks & Bonds Reduce Outrageous US Wealth Disparity
原文： https://wolfstreet.com/2022/09/26/my-we ... disparity/So here is the average wealth (assets minus debts) per household, by wealth category in Q2, 2022, and by how much it changed from the end of 2021 (in bold). Note the gain by the Bottom 50%:
“Top “0.1%” (red in chart below): $133.8 million (-$12 million, -8.2%)
“Remaining 1%” (purple): $19.8 million (-$2.0 million, -9.1%)
The 2% to 10% (yellow): $4.4 million (-$253,000, -5.5%)
“Next 40%” (purple): $768,000 (-$16,500; -2.1%)
“Bottom 50%” (not show in the chart): $69,100 (+$10,500; +15.5%).
The “Bottom 50%” of households don’t show on the chart below because they have so little, and a big part of what little they have are durable goods, such as cars, a little home equity, and pension entitlements. They own nearly no stocks and no bonds, directly or indirectly. But their net worth actually jumped from minuscule to a little less minuscule! Kudos!
