Kedrosky has a post up that says 1 in 18 households in the US are now "millionaires".

It recalls British publishing billionaire Felix Dennis' new classification of wealth:

Total assets
£1m-£2m	The comfortable poor
£5m-£15m	The comfortably wealthy
£40m-£75m	The comfortably rich

Beyond that come the super rich and the filthy rich...

Note that figures are in british pounds, so it's roughly $2-4M in USD to be comfortably poor.
