I always wonder, when I see a statistic like that, whether the "average white American" number is arrived at by including a handful absurdly wealthy people like Bill Gates, the Koch Brothers and the Walton family and Rich Georg, who is an outlier and should not have been counted and if so, what those numbers would look like if you eliminated billionaires from the equation.

To me, "rich" pretty much means you've got everything that you and your immediate, living-with-you family require for your daily needs (including such civilized niceties as insurance,) are saving adequately for retirement, and can still do things like take a yearly vacation, go to a nice sit-down restaurant without planning for it for three months, or blow a few hundred bucks on a handbag or other accessories.

Small luxuries once in a while and a modestly larger one once every several years do not mean rich, but a steady guilt-free flow of them, including some that are not so small, do.

It is. The "average" is usually also calculated from the gross sum, not the net, so it doesn't take into account things like taxes, outstanding debts, or funerary expenses paid out of the estate.
