Millionaire Households, 2013

I’ve been talking about the stock market’s effects on the millionaire households in America and a few of you have asked for further stats. One recent article / study I found interesting was an Advisor One piece quoting the Spectrem Group:

the number of new millionaires rose by 400,000, to 8.99 million, in 2012 (Spectrem excluded primary residences from net worth).

The “comeback” continues for the fourth year, after millionaire households declined to 6.7 million in 2008, but the total millionaire population remains below the pre-recession peak in 2007 of 9.2 million, according to the firm.

The ranks of all affluent investors increased in 2012:

• Those with $100,000 or more in net worth not including primary residence climbed to 37.4 million from 36.7 million in 2011 and 31.2 million in 2008. All other wealth categories are included in this group.

• Those with $500,000 or more in net worth NIPR rose to 14.3 million from 13.8 million in 2011 and 11.3 million in 2008.

• Those with $5 million or more in net worth NIPR advanced to 1.14 million from 1.078 million in 2011 and 840,000 in 2008.

• Those with $25 million or more in net worth NIPR grew by 10,000 to 117,000 in 2012 and up from 84,000 in 2008.

The rest is below.
