Roughly 23.8 million people in the U.S. are millionaires as of 2024, according to UBS-based reporting from 2025. That means about 1 in 15 Americans has a net worth of at least $1 million.

Quick Scoop

  • A 2025 report says the U.S. had 23,831,000 millionaires in 2024.
  • Another 2025 source rounded that to about 22 million millionaires based on UBS 2024 data.
  • The exact count varies a bit by report because of different methods and timing, but the broad takeaway is the same: the U.S. has the largest millionaire population in the world.

What That Means

That level works out to roughly 6.5% of the U.S. population , or around one in every 15 people.

Some reports also note that millionaire wealth in the U.S. has continued rising, with more people crossing the seven-figure threshold in recent years.

Why The Numbers Differ

Different outlets may count:

  • Individuals vs. households.
  • Net worth vs. investable assets.
  • Different report years, such as 2023, 2024, or a projection for 2028.

So the safest plain-English answer is: about 24 million Americans are millionaires right now.

TL;DR

The U.S. has around 23.8 million millionaires , and the number is still growing.
