According to this article[1], you need $8.4 million to be in the top 1% of net worth so 1 out of 100 HN lurkers can probably also give useful first hand advice!

(assuming being rich doesn't make you less likely to visit HN)

That is across all ages and I would guess that few here are seniors. At 35 the top 1% is $2.3m. So many here may be more wealthy than you realize.
