Lewis Schiff: The Changing Face of American Wealth (7/8/2008)

Duration

1:05:05

Lewis Schiff, CEO, Advanced Planning Group; Author, The Middle-Class Millionaire

Schiff reveals original research about current American millionaires who have earned rather than inherited their wealth. He estimates 6 million U.S. households have a self-made net worth over $1 million. The research compares attitudes, values and social contributions of the traditional middle class to those of the “middle-class millionaire.” Schiff also examines the broader societal impact this group has.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience on July 8, 2008.
