Based on Table 3 in the Wealth Article, about 40% of respondents to the ER Net Worth Poll are in the top 5% of US wealth. WOWZA!
However, the median age here is also undoubtedly higher which explains the conclusion somewhat, but by no means entirely. Quantifying that aspect is well beyond my pay grade...
