$1-2 million?

I'm watching this show and surprised how often the bachelor is worth between $1-2 million. That's more than I'm worth, but hardly enough to be buying Lamborghinis or traveling the world by private jet. And if they live in California or New York it's basically middle class. It seems odd that these guys live so extravagantly or think they can buy a relationship this way.

$1,000,000 wouldn't even buy you an average house in an average suburb in Sydney.

$1m is only £630,000. That's bugger all, especially in London or even Edinburgh

I live in NY and million can't even buy 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan. One bedroom can be a million easily as well. That means many Manhattan residents could be on that crap show

I agree, if I liquidated everything I have I'd be a millionaire many times over. But I live a basically middle class life and would feel uncomfortable spending money on $200K cars and that lifestyle because it wouldn't last. My idea of a "millionaire" these days is having $2M cash at your disposal, while having no debt (all houses, cars, jewelry, everything paid for) and not including your IRA. A nice-ish house in my area is a million dollars and I would not say that makes me a millionaire especially if I was carrying a mortgage on it. Some of these "millionaires" are really not.
