The quoted totals for the "millionaire club" are "households with more than $1-million (U.S.) in wealth, which looks at financial assets including life insurance and pensions but excludes real estate."

Excludes real estate?

Hello?

That badly reduces the data's utility for understanding Canada, for multiple reasons. One big reason sits in Vancouver where, in the most expensive neighbourhoods, so many households in the most expensive neighbourhoods, little houses selling for three million dollars a pop, claim almost no income to Ottawa (poverty level status) and claim minimal assets. Are those people really millionaires? Of course they are, but Ottawa and others do not see their massive assets and overseas income streams.
