US $176 Trillion Net Worth: Paper Rich, Debt Richer
The US hit a jaw-dropping $176.29 trillion in household net worth by Q2 2025 — that’s $46 trillion more than pre-pandemic ’19, as if money just grew on the Wall Street trees and in fancy real estate nests. Stocks jumped by $5.5 trillion and housing ballooned $1.2 trillion, thanks to AI hype, meme stock mayhem, and Fed whispers about rate cuts, all while household borrowing and Uncle Sam’s debt keep climbing like they’re auditioning for Evel Knievel’s stunt team. So yes, Americans are richer on paper, but don’t drop that wallet just yet.
