I mean you asked what did you expect us to say. Like hell we admit to being in the 1% that’s déclassé

It doesn’t take much 🤷🏻♀️ like I’ve been in the 1% most of my adult life thanks to founding (equity!) and life partners with high incomes. And I think my hubby and I still don’t count as accredited investors so what is up with that hmmmmn 🤔

We’ve never been anywhere near it by either net worth or income (I think the current thresholds are 4 million and about 400k in the US)
Hard to assess since people use different numbers and adjust for geography in different ways, but 1% is out of reach for me by all of them

I was using the 500k income as the threshold which in NYC at least is just your average double income no kids white shoe lawyer and VP at a Fortune 500 (which is how I first broke into it with an ex)

Crazy that that income both puts you in the 1% but in our oddly paternalistic private investing regime is not enough for accreditation- no wonder the rich get richer if only the slimmest sliver of people can own equity in companies with most potential for alpha

“A person is also considered an accredited investor if he has a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with his spouse” which is a lot (also lol why is it a he?) but goes on to say 300k income would work 🤷🏻♀️

Sounds like you could qualify if you tried the right way. Possibly liquidity of net worth plays a role.
