About 5.8 percent of the U.S. population — 7.2 million households — are millionaires. And that means they have at least one million dollars in the bank or investments. This measurement does not count the value of their home or other property, retirement plans or business partnerships.
美国大约5.8%的人口，也就是720万个家庭是百万富翁，这意味着他们在银行或投资中至少有100万美元。这个统计不计算他们的房屋或其它财产、退休金以及商业合资公司的价值。
Some people might argue that a million dollars cannot buy what it could years ago, but it is still a lot of money.
有些人可能会争辩说，现在的一百万没前些年值钱了，但是这仍然是一笔大钱。
