Well. When you are the largest developed nation on Earth, you obviously will have the most millionairs as a total number, will be interesting to see how that changes with China's potential to displace the USA over the coming decades.
A more important figure would be millionaires per capita... Which Qatar, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuwait, etc' beat the USA hands down.
The USA also has more people living in or at the poverty level than most other developed nations, serious income inequality.
With that said, majority of people aren't going to be wealthy, I have a few millionaires in my family, but I am unlikely to ever trend at that kind of wealth level and that is fine, because even on the average wage of 80 grand a year, I am not to bad off.

Most of the nations or special regions you mentioned have a much higher income equality than USA aside from switzerland ...
There's only 10 or so developed nations that beat the US in terms of poverty rates according to CIA world factbook out of the 34 other developed nations ?
That is not what I would describe as SERIOUS income equality ...

Jobs can be fun, if you do it right.
I entered the job market when I was a teenager and scored a job that I enjoy, 12 years later I still enjoy it, but I had the right opportunities available to me that suited my wants, not everyone is so lucky.
I was also able to do that job whilst getting a degree, I didn't wait untill after I got the degree to get a job.
Fact of the matter is, your minimum wage is disgusting and there really isn't any need for it to be that low.

That's FEDERAL minimum wage ...
I'd much rather have a robot flipping my burgers than humans if it means paying less ...
