Egg yolks are indeed full of cholesterol. Like most cholesterol-rich foods, they are jam-packed full of important nutrients, especially the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. In fact, the slew of nutrients in an egg yolk is so comprehensive that a few a day would offer better insurance than a multi-vitamin.
In the United States, approximately 7% of households are millionaires.[7] A 2010 study argues that millionaires (those in the top 1% of earners) pay approximately 40% of all taxes in the United States.[4] According to the book The Millionaire Next Door, only 20% of millionaires inherited their wealth.
The survey said only 14 percent of Americans own stocks directlyâdown from 21 percent in 2001. But even more than most assets in America, their ownership is highly skewed toward the wealthy. Fully 93 percent of the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans own stocks. That's nearly twice the level for the middle 50 percent and far more than the 26 percent stock-ownership rate for the bottom 40 percent. Stock ownership is even more concentrated when it comes to share of total stock holdings.
