If you absolutely must compare yourself to others and you live in the U.S., the Census Bureau can help with that. Download the Excel spreadsheet found here.

I personally find it to be a fool's errand. There will always be many people with both more and less than I have. The only relevant question is whether I have as much as I need, and the net worth of other people cannot possibly answer that question.
Thanks for the link... I couldn't find it. A matter of curiosity. Not being in the first percentile, I wondered what the median net worth was for people my age, and that money doesn't have the same meaning as it did when I retired. 31 years ago, my salary was $48K... That seems low compared to today's values. While still not really high, adjusted for inflation that would now be $120K.
A second part of that Government Census page, is particularly interesting to me, as it gives some insight into "where" the net worth lies.
So.... where
is the net worth?
House
Bank
Annuity
College savings
Vehicles
Cash Value Life Insurance
Real Estate
Ownership of business
Checking account
Stock Market
Rentals
Bonds
IRA
Jewelry/Marketable items, coin or stamp collection etc.
It's when the net worth is broken down and compared to the statistics that providess some insight into the what and why. Net worth doesn't necessarily translate into liquidity. For instance.... savings for a few students further education could easily be many thousands of dollars, that won't be there at retirement age.
Personally, I found the "by age" part of the chart to be most interesting, not just for the median net worth part, but for some of the other major assets... ie. house... LTC, annuity.
It would be interesting to see how the $1,000,000 theoretical amount required to retire, would be broken down by asset class.
A little different from just looking at personal net worth totals on a periodic basis.
