How much is the spouse and their family worth? Did this bump come from marriage? Were these long term gains or short term? Was it inherited? Lots of questions to ask about that.

I'd be willing to put money on it that less than 10% of those figures were actually examples of socioeconomic mobility.

Pretty sure 2018 was the year Trump's tax bill doubled the exemption to 11 million for the estate take. I'd join your wager. Many of those probably came from wealthy families, were already doing fine themselves and then got to add their parent's wealth to their own to bump themselves over the 1 mil mark.
