Real estate wealth has devalued the status of being a millionaire in Canada

by Rob Carrick

A subindustry in publishing is devoted to books about becoming a millionaire.

There’s Millionaire Teacher, The Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Fastlane and The Millionaire Mind, not to be confused with Secrets of the Millionaire Mind or Your Millionaire Mindset. Also, The ChatGPT Millionaire, Baby Steps Millionaires, Seventeen to Millionaire, From Zero to Millionaire and The Millionaire Master Plan. We could go on and on – Amazon’s books page offers more than 50,000 results for a search for “millionaire.”

The word millionaire means wealth, financial independence and prestige, at least in the minds of people writing, editing and publishing personal finance books. But the status of millionaires today has been devalued by high real estate prices. If you own a home in some parts of the country, millionaire status awaits.
