$10M Club: Where the Rich Multiply Like Gremlins (But Only in the U.S.)
In this episode, we peer into the velvet-draped penthouse of the global elite, where nearly 905,000 Americans walk around with net worths exceeding $10 million, while still somehow qualifying for tax breaks and Instagram pity posts about inflation.
The U.S. owns 38.7% of the world's high-net-worth individuals. Meanwhile, the “Rest of the World” — yes, the entire rest — splits a mere 18.3%. China’s at 20.1%, playing catch-up but still wearing gold-tipped Nikes.
Max demands we rename the IRS to the “I Respect Supremacy” department, while Lisa breaks down how wealth concentration is not just a flex — it’s a policy. This ain’t just about the rich getting richer, it's about the system getting slicker.
Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
