It is not because people are optimizing for becoming millionaires. Everyone has always been optimizing for more power.
It is because the federal government, which controls the currency, decided to increase the supply of currency, which shows up as increased asset values.
It used to be that you had to do something extraordinary to become a millionaire. Now all you need to do is have a high paying job and invest heavily in the right stocks for a few years to get there.
