Average net worth for 35-44 year olds $135 thousand his net worth $119.2 billion. $5 equivalent for him is ~$4,414,814.81

Where did you find that average net worth for 35-44 year olds? That seems much higher than I expected. What's the median?

Oh, you actually shared the median. The average is $1.06 million. I guess I know some broke-ass people, and am one myself. Almost everyone I know is well below those numbers.

Outliers are undoubtedly massively skewing the average.
