What the numbers actually say

A top-10% household owns 4.6× the median.
In Australia, wealth inequality dwarfs income inequality.
The middle 60% of households own between $65,000 and $1,550,000.
Most 'normal' net worths in Australia fit inside that band.
The top 1% own 21.4× a typical household.
It's not a gap — it's a different category.
Only 1 in 20 households in Australia own more than $4,200,000.
Top 5% starts here.
The average net worth is $1,080,000 — far above the median.
That gap is the ultra-wealthy pulling the average into another orbit.
A top-10% household owns 520× a bottom-10% household.
That's the spread inside one country.

Household net wealth · Net wealth is the total value of a household's assets (residential property, superannuation balances, bank deposits, shares, other financial assets, business equity, vehicles) minus all liabilities (mortgages, investment loans, personal debt, credit cards). Data from ABS Survey of Income and Housing 2021-22. Superannuation (mandatory 11% employer contribution) is included, which makes Australian wealth figures higher than countries where occupational pension wealth is excluded.
