Cine sunt milionarii despre care nu vorbește nimeni? Au împreună o avere de 13 ori mai mare decât topul Forbes 40

The wealthiest Americans are often private business owners rather than famous billionaires. Economists Owen Zidar and Eric Zwick studied tax data and private company information, revealing around 3 million "Main Street Millionaires" with an average net worth of $25 million. Their combined wealth surpasses that of the Forbes 400 by over 13 times. These owners are less visible and operate in diverse sectors like legal services, auto dealerships, and healthcare. The study highlights the growing importance of pass-through businesses in the U.S. economy and suggests a shift in understanding wealth inequality, as many wealthy individuals are embedded in local communities and may influence political dynamics.
