- More Americans are now millionaires thanks to strong real estate markets, rising stock values, and 401(k) investments—and after the $83 trillion great wealth transfer, there will be even more. In fact, the U.S. minted over 1,000 new millionaires daily last year, ushering in the largest cohort of “everyday millionaires,” according to new data from UBS. The American Dream may seem out of reach for many, but it’s become a reality for nearly 400,000 U.S. citizens.
Having a house with a two-car garage, a white picket fence, and a bank account stocked with sizable savings feels like a fading dream for many Americans. But the aspiration is alive and well for the 379,000 U.S. citizens who became millionaires last year.
