How much money qualifies you as RICH in 2024 USA ?

#FoxBusiness My friend Dave N alerted me to this truth several years ago. When his mother died he inherited what was left of the family fortune. When Dave was feeling very insecure he approached a stock broker : " What can you do with $800, 000 ? " The guy laughed sarcastically : " Come back when you have 2 MILLION to invest ! " . Dave's fears of rapidly going broke were well founded . He was soon living in his Grand Prix car ! . He called me to contact his VERY RICH aunt on the East Side of Providence. Her husband West always hung up on Dave. But I soon found out that his Aunt Gracie Alpert ( connected to Brown University had left most of her money to Brown medical school ( for brain research ) . A family lawyer tried to contact Dave but he could not be found ( of course, then living in his car ! ) . I checked all this out at Providence City Hall " RECORDS " . Dave is now living in public housing in Mass. He blames himself for losing all his money : " I let women control me ", he moaned . To be sure , there is more to his story. Which reads likes a Hollywood " Sex, Lies, and Money " script. To add to the ABSURD story a few weeks ago Dave lost his wallet while visiting a urologist in Johnston , Rhode Island. I loaned him $120 dollars . He paid me back a day later after a Jewish charity helped him out. What net worth does one need to be rich in 2024?
