There isn't a real difference between 999 million and a billion though.

Having a million dollars puts you in lower to mid middle class.

There does exist some cutoff and it can be haggled over where exactly it is but it is certainly below a billion.

Having a million dollars puts you in the top 12% of household net worth in the US - while "middle class" is a notoriously loose term in the US, that's upper middle class at least. Median household net worth is around $120k.

Ok, that's for US. What are the numbers for California? That's my reference since I'm here.
