Wonder Why
Wonder Why's JournalHow much do you have to be worth to be in the top x% of households? I wondered. I decided to ask Duck-Duck-Go.
After all, Duck-Duck-Go, unlike other search sites, is not out to steal your personal information to enrich the net worth of the richest.
To be classified in the top 1% of U.S. households, your net worth must meet a specific threshold.
Minimum Net Worth
Net Worth Requirement: At least $11.6 million
This figure represents the minimum net worth needed to be considered part of the wealthiest segment of the population in the United States.
Okay.
et Worth Requirements for Top 5% of U.S. Households
To be considered in the top 5% of households in the United States, your net worth must meet a specific threshold.
Net Worth Threshold
Percentile Net Worth Requirement
Top 5% At least $2.5 million
This figure indicates the level of wealth necessary to be among the wealthiest households in the country.
Well, what about the top 4%?
To be classified in the top 4% of U.S. households, your net worth must meet a specific threshold.
Minimum Net Worth
Percentile Minimum Net Worth
Top 4% $1.1 million
This means that a household needs to have a net worth of at least $1.1 million to be considered part of the top 4% in terms of wealth in the United States.
Wow! I can't be in the top 5% until I read $2.5M but can be in the top 4% with only $1.1M!
I'll go for the top 4%. It's easier to reach and is a snootier level to reach!
So much for online answers.
On the other hand, checking a number of web sites, almost all looked at income requirements, not net worth and many of them were more interested in selling me something than giving me answers. I guess the terms "net worth" and "top percent" got them overexcited.
You're in charge, Donnie. NOT! TACO vs Netanyahu. TACO gets eaten.
Reuters headline: "US-Iran meeting in Switzerland scrapped as fighting flares in Lebanon"
The only running TACO man does is to the bathroom.
Does this say it all about the Iran "agreement"? And you don't have to read past the DU main page! You don't even have
to scan the whole page!

Reuters: "Under the Trump crypto playbook, the family always wins. Investors don't"
https://www.reuters.com/investigations/under-trump-crypto-playbook-family-always-wins-investors-dont-2026-06-09/The stupid MAGAts lose again. Soon, they will be crying about losing their money but will not put the blame on their False Idol, nor wanting investigations, nor voting for those who want to bring charges, nor wanting those "evil" government regulations, nor that "wastefull" Social Security or Medicare.
I hope they get their just deserts - yes, deserts, not desserts.
Eat your hearts out! I just got a personal letter from JD Vance. Here is what it said:
From the desk of
JD VANCE
VICE PRESIDENT
Ooh! He wants to consult with me about when he takes over when Donnie kicks the bucket in is lieing[sic] "in state" in the White House in his brand new two-handled open coffin. The lid will be to the side so we can all pay our respects, then the coffin will be donated to "Grouch" from Sesame Street to honor the then-late president.
JD then goes on to thank me and sign it
Lastly, he adds a P.S. addressing me by name.
Thanks again!
Even the enclosed personalized invitation addresses me by name.
Wow! I can help. I'll offer to help count it and won't charge more than the usual 10% agent fee.
Top that one, you lowlife libs!!!!!!
UPDATE:
I just noticed that JD (I can call him that now) wants me to reply to his residence in Topeka, KS. The man is so interested in saving the country money that he is living in a box in the Topeka Post Office.
Some definitions:
crematory - where the corpse gets heated
Creamery - Where the fudge for the ice cream gets heated
Creamatory - Where the fudge gets heated and it and the ice cream are put in an urn instead of a cup.

Altman vs Musk Cviil Trial - the jury should be able to hang them both!
Yes, I know juries in civil cases can't impose criminal penalties, much less execution but can't there be an exception in this case?
It seems perfectly justified to me. Two lowdown sleazes who need an old-fashioned guillotine.
