What happened
A government report released by the Federal Reserve found that steady stock market gains have increased the wealth of American families. The survey noted that families headed by someone aged 75 or older are now the wealthiest in America. The median net worth of the richest one-tenth of American families rose 31% to $3.6 million between 2022 and 2025.
Why it matters
The findings underscore how robust stock market gains have enriched wealthier American families since the last survey in 2022. The report highlights a widening wealth gap, as younger families saw their wealth decline over the past three years.
