offers a detailed look at household net worth by age and percentile. For Americans in their 60s, here’s how the numbers break down:

Ages 65–74:

80th percentile (Top 20%): $1,524,000

90th percentile (Top 10%): $2,997,300

Net worth isn’t just what’s in your bank account. For the upper class, it’s usually spread across:
