30% of households have an aggregate net worth above 250k. So the situation GP in describing is probably very common.

But the majority of that 30% with a net worth above $250k have most of it in the form of their house, not CDs.

The portion of households that have $250k in the bank is no doubt much less than 30%.

I don't believe that most high net worth households are that cash heavy.

I have well over $250k net worth, the vast majority of our assets are in brokerage and retirement accounts. We have only $60k in cash.
