Crikey! America Swimming in Moolah: More Millionaires Than You Can Shake a Teddy At!

Blimey! A Fortune Found!

Right then seems like everyone's got a bob or two these days eh? Word on the street – or should I say in one of those fancy 'newsletters' – is that America's got more millionaires and billionaires than you can shake Teddy at! Apparently all these 'tech companies' are printing money faster than I can spill gravy on my Sunday best. Speaking of best my best idea lately was trying to use a crane to paint my flat but that's another story.

78% More? Flippin' Eck!

Apparently they're talking about 'liquid millionaires' – whatever that means. Sounds a bit messy doesn't it? Turns out there are over 6 million of these 'liquid' types and their numbers have shot up by a whopping 78% in the last ten years! Crikey that's more than the number of times I've gotten stuck in my own jumper. If I had that much money I'd buy a lifetime supply of baked beans. And maybe a new Reliant Robin… or two.

Centimillionaires? Is that like... a hundred of me?

And hold on to your hats because it gets even sillier! There's a breed called 'centimillionaires' – those with a hundred million or more! There are over 10,000 of them in America! Goodness me that's a lot of dosh. I wonder if they have as much trouble parallel parking as I do? Speaking of that maybe I should get a chauffeur? 'Just drive me to the shops for some beans if you please!'

The American Dream: Now With Added Sunshine

Turns out these rich folks are flocking to America like pigeons to a dropped chip. And a lot of them fancy a bit of sunshine! Places like Scottsdale Arizona and West Palm Beach Florida are booming with millionaires. Who can blame them? Sunshine's much better than trying to defrost a turkey with fireworks isn't it? Although I did manage to cook the turkey... eventually.

New York vs. Bay Area: The Great Millionaire Showdown!

Now this is where it gets interesting. There's a proper squabble going on between New York and the Bay Area for the millionaire crown. New York still has more but the Bay Area is catching up fast thanks to all that 'artificial intelligence' business. Maybe I should invent a self stirring tea machine? Now there's a million dollar idea! Though I'd probably end up gluing myself to the kettle.

Time to Cash in the Beans?

So what does all this mean for yours truly? Well maybe it's time I invested in something a bit more exciting than baked beans. Perhaps I'll buy a share in a company that makes those self driving cars. What could possibly go wrong? I mean apart from accidentally driving into a swimming pool. Again.
