Heck, just take your personal estimated SS at FRA and multiply x 25. For many of us, the value will put us well on the way to $1M....a Miami detective I know who has a multimillion dollar retirement annuity.
+1A small business owner who saved a million or two for retirement and has no pension feels no wealthier than a Miami detective I know who has a multimillion dollar retirement annuity.
It's very easy. If women 30 or more years younger than you are hinting that they might like to get to know you, you are wealthy- and in the good old fat-cat money way, not some lame new age definition.

Also good, but not as specific- if you annoy the hell out of liberals you may be wealthy.

Then there is Paul the consumer. The way he spends money is distasteful. He appears to live like I imagine Donald Trump would like to live. And sadly, I think there are a lot of hangers-on. I once stood next to Paul at an Allen Conference (Herb Allen who is not a relation to Paul) and listen to Paul discuss Yacht building with a woman I did not know. The woman asked if he had a Helicopter Port on his boat. Paul looked at her as if she was from Mars and said ” where else could you put your Helicopter?”. He then told her that his boat had two. I wanted to puke.
My new definition is you are wealthy if your yacht has space for two helicopters.
The Eclipse features a 16m swimming pool, which can be covered to make a dance floor. The yacht accommodates three helicopters and a three-man private submarine, which can drive to a depth of 160ft.
It's kind of like pornography. You know it when you see it, and, some of it may look like it to you, but not to others.
It's kind of like buying a boat--if you have to ask "how much," you can't afford it. If we have to ask "Am I wealthy?", we're not.
If you have a yacht, you are probably wealthy...........
