How Typical Millionaire Looks Acts
A New York field survey profiles the average American millionaire. It notes a man in his 40s, about six feet tall, 160 pounds, married with two children, living in a town house near water, employing a cook, maid and chauffeur. He travels abroad yearly, drives two cars, owns a boat, plays golf and Canasta or bridge, and spends modestly on wagers. He reads several papers, has two TV sets, and his wife wears mink and jewelry. The piece also highlights John Jay Hopkins’s atomic-energy mission to Japan and the US stance on atomic warfare after World War II.
