> Almost 10% of 400 million people are millionaires in the USA! Insanely productive all things considered.

The number of millionaires is poor proxy metric for productivity, because of inheritance for instance.

If a country has 100% of millionaires that inherited their wealth but haven't done anything since they're born, I wouldn't call it "productive".
