I have read that most newly minted millionaires own their own construction/contractor business.

I can say, anecdotally, when I lived in Silicon Valley the blue-collar guy down the street had his own house painting business and did alright as near as I could tell. I know he got in a few hours of golf during most days.

Also on the golf course, realtors in the area.

This is the thesis of the Millionare Next Door and it probably still applies roughly adjusting for inflation, etc.

Another is if you take millionaire to mean “feel well off or rich” then being in a lower wealth industry will help that vs having everyone around you also be wealthy.
