What counts as rich in Australia?
Australians are some of the wealthiest people on the planet on a per-adult basis. Two things do most of the work: property, and superannuation, the compulsory retirement savings that every employer pays into.
The median Australian adult holds about A$296,000. The top 10% starts at roughly A$1.7 million, and the top 1% at about A$6.8 million.
