My grandpa went to prison (in Romania) in the 1950-es for being part of bourgeoise class because he fixed and ran a broken mill. He was a war refugee (from Romania to Romania) without any money, land or any other resources, but in Communist Romania running a mill would tag you as "super rich". I guess this is what you wanted to say there, correct?


I consider myself reasonably well-off but am unlikely to become even a millionaire in my life (inflation-adjusted). I’d say millionaire = rich, 10-20 million or more = super rich. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-net-worth_individual.


10% of Americans are millionaires you just need to own a home


Then 10% of Americans are rich, I guess.
