The average isn't terribly meaningful because it's so heavily skewed by a small number of obscenely wealthy people.

The median net worth of 50-something Americans is $180,227.

There is a whole tragedy of modern times in what you say. Thank you.

Average != median. I’m not even bothering to click the link.
