U.S. leads the world with 18.6 million millionaires. 

Despite the millions of millionaires, Americans are still working multiple jobs to put food on the table, going bankrupt from medical expenses, and spending decades paying off student loans.http://cnb.cx/35V8mQu
As a Silicon Valley-adjacent person, I find people are endlessly inventive about claiming they're not rich. A popular line of thinking in my world is "I make $300K/year in my software job, but the cost of living in SF/NYC is so high that I'm basically middle class"

Farmers have all this land they could sell, and then they wouldn't have farms to work. They have 8%-10% margin, at $230/acre of yearly revenue for corn-after-soy. Sometimes there's a drought or flood, or a hurricane. Sometimes they go bankrupt and sell the farm. "Rich" huh?

The NYT is *king* of this genre. Between the right private school, a house in the Adirondacks, 3 vacays a year, and eating out just 4x a week, it's impossible to save enough to retire if you earn only $250K.

If you earn $250k each year, you can continue living that way indefinitely. If you have $1M and no job, no income, you can continue living that way…for 4 years. Which is wealth: $1M on hand and no income, or $250k coming in continuously?
