Either way you count it, when I was a kid there were about 500 millionaires in the US. Now by the lowest count there's 22,000,000.

by an extremely conservative count there's 44,000 times more millionaires now while the population has gone up only 2 times. Making millionaires something like 22,000 times more common than when I was young.

being a millionaire now means almost nothing. Billionaire is literally the new millionaire. By the time people here are old, everyone will be millionaires and the dollar will be worth so little people will drop them on the street and not bother to pick them up.
