I truly thought there were more. Are you surprised at the number?

[ToraToraTora]

depends how it's measured, net worth of £1m is pretty common.

[barry1010]

Yep, seen a few hovels valued at £1m+

[youngmafbog]

Yes it doesnt seem many.

Technically you are a millionaire if your net worth is a million rather than having cash in the Bank. That would include all investments and property, jewellery etc. I am worth well over a million and I dont believe I am one of 2.8m people, number is too small.

[youngmafbog]

Dont forget only the bit you own counts. Most will be mortgaged.

I personal opinion is that Scotland for many decades was ignored by the rest of the UK (and by that I mean England) and its only been since the money started increasing from UK that industry has increased in Scotland.
Now there is more money they are playing catch up.
As I said this is my personal view on the matter and no links to back it up just what I have seen from growing up there and visiting relatives after we moved.

Sorry wrong thread

[MissTerious2]

That does seem a low number.

2,849,000 millionaires and i'm not one,that's not fair.

the flat's paid off, so I'm one, but I'm nobody's idea of a millionaire.

[david small]

I’m very far from being a millionaire. Comfortable, but certainly not rich. If I was I’d give it to my kids.
