If your net worth included the property that you stay in, then having $2M is pretty common as you are aware even HDB flats can fetch $1M.

I suspect many mature households (meaning couples in their mid forties) would have net worth of at least $1M without including the property they stay in.

So if the main property is included, $2M among mature HDB households should be common. For those living in condos and landed properties, the net worth will be higher simply because of their property prices. A typical intermediate terrace house is already $2M!, while condos start at $1000 psf.

With this mind, Singaporeans are rich only to outsiders, but within Singapore, you don't feel it.
