If you’re looking for millionaires, you’re in the right neighborhood. More than 6 million households in the United States have liquid assets worth more than $1 million, according to newly released estimates. And the greatest concentration of wealth in the United States is along the Interstate 95 corridor – including in Connecticut, which ranked #3 in the nation.
The state of Maryland has the highest percentage of millionaires in the U.S., the report by Phoenix Marketing International Global Wealth Monitor found, while New Jersey and Connecticut come in second and third. In all three states, more than 7 percent of households have a net worth in excess of seven figures. In Connecticut, 7.32 percent of households hold more than $1 million in assets, just behind 7.70 percent in Maryland 7.49 percent in New Jersey.
