A middle-age Millionaires' Row: Average 50-something now has net worth over $1 million
Sometime around age 50, the average American can now expect a net worth exceeding $1 million. How did so many 50-somethings become millionaires?

If you’re a 50-something and you’re not worth a cool $1 million, do not despair. Those numbers are averages, and the super-rich drive them waaaay up.
The “median” American household – picture the middle number in a long list of numbers – achieves a net worth of about $300,000 in the 50-to-59 age range, a far cry from $1 million.
