The Opportunity

We Can’t Wait estimates that over 50,000 people in the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA) have over $10M in assets. Wealth-X’s 2021 report finds in the SFBA over 4,000 people with assets over $30M.

And Credit Suisse Research Institute’s Global Wealth Databook 2021 p. 127 tallies 1.5M people in the U.S. with over $10M in assets. That’s almost 0.5% of the 330M people. On a straight extrapolation, 40,000 are in the SFBA, but this region is wealthier than average, we estimate the number is over 50,00.
