- 5trokerac3 7y ago> 100 millionaires and billionaires. There are over 500 billionaires. My point being that OP's point comes off as an emotional argument as opposed to a data-based one. Edit: I now understand the OP meant "100-millionairs". Even so, the math is still off. As of 2015 there were ~5000 100-millionaires and billionaires in the US[1]. That's 0.0015% of the population.

- microcolonel 7y agoSlow down for a second. You're misreading the language. By "100 millionaires" he means hundred-millionaires, that is, people who have one hundred million dollars or more. By "100 millionaires and billionaires", "hundred-millionaires as well as billionaires".
- jefftk 7y agoBy "100 millionaires and billionaires" they meant "people with $1XXM or $XB". Not a clear phrasing, though!
