You won’t meet them there. They have a house, register it as their home state for tax reasons, the travel to states they actually want to be in.

1 in 10 Americans now millionaires, but the status loses some luster

The number of millionaires in the United States is soaring. A report from Swiss bank UBS finds about 1 in 10 American adults now has a net worth of at least $1 million, with 1,000 new millionaires added every day last year.

With inflation, a million bucks no longer stretches as far as it once did, and many millionaires' wealth is tied up in houses and 401(k)s. But seven-figure status still holds symbolic weight. As one man who hit the mark put it, “It’s not a golden ticket like it was in the past" but it buys “peace of mind.”
