Estimates of Personal Wealth, 1982: A Second Look

By Marvin Schwartz*

According to updated estimates of the personal wealth of

individuals in 1982, approximately 4.5 million people had

gross assets of $325,000 or more that year These individuals, the Nation's "top wealth holders," represented only 2.8

percent of the Nation's adult population [11. Their net worth,

estimated from estate tax returns using the "estate multiplier

technique," exceeded $2.7 trillion and accounted for approximately 29.6 percent of the personal wealth in the

United States in 1982 [2].

those individuals or "top wealthholders" who control a large

portion of the personal wealth in the United States. (The

mechanics of the estimating technique are discussed later)

In contrast, during 1976, fewer than 2 million people had

gross assets of $300,000 or more, the amount closest to the

level at which data are available for 1982. The net worth of

these top wealthholders in 1976 was approximately $1.0

trillion.

The updated estimates of personal wealth in 1982 represent the first phase of an effort by the Internal Revenue

Service to improve the accuracy of the data [4,5]. In the

past, wealth estimates, such as the preliminary estimates for

1982 published earlier, were made from the Statistics of

Income sample of estate tax returns filed in a given year for

deaths that had occurred over several years [6]. Thus, the

wealth estimates generated from a sample selected on a

filing year basis actually reflected the value of wealth held

during several years, unadjusted for the rates of inflation

applicable to those years.

Just as the total number of top wealthholders increased

during this period, so did the millionaires among them.

Approximately 475,000 individuals had a net worth of $1

million or more in 1982, well over twice the number in 1976

(180,000). The sharp increase in the number of millionaires

between 1976 and 1982, however, was largely due to

inflation. On the basis of constant 1976 dollars, only

232,000 individuals-52,000 more than in 1976-had a net

worth of $1 milliGn or more in 1982 [3].

The final personal wealth estimates for 1982 presented

here are based on estate tax returns filed from 1982

through 1984 for individuals who died in 1982 [7]. By

sampling returns filed over this 3-year period, the returns

filed for nearly all individuals who died in 1982 can be

captured. The advantage of a "year-of-cleath" sample is it

represents the wealth of a given year, rather than a series of

years, and thus more accurately reflects wealth at a particular time.

ESTIMATING PERSONAL WEALTH FROM ESTATE

TAX RETURNS

The measurement of personal wealth in the United States

has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This

interest has been stimulated by a number of factors, not the

least of which is the public's fascination with the topic.

Accurate and comprehensive estimates of wealth, however,

are difficult to obtain, because individuals are not required

to report information on wealth regularly on any tax return or

other public document. Several alternative approaches,

each with its own merits, have been developed. The

estimates presented here are based on the "estate multiplier technique." This approach utilizes administrative

records, in particular, estate tax returns filed for the deceased to estimate the wealth of the living population.

This procedure can be used to estimate wealth for all

individuals whose assets exceed the estate filing requirement in effect that year Estimates of wealth thus can be

provided for the top 2 to 3 percent of the wealthholders*Foreign Special Projects Section. Prepared under the direction of

Mike Alexander, Chief.

As the level of gross estate (or gross assets) required for

filing an estate tax return has increased, the definition of top

wealthholders also has changed. The level of wealth to

which the estimates apply rose from $60,000 or more in

1972 to $120,000 or more for 1976 and subsequently to

$325,000 or more for 1982. While summary estimates of

wealth are provided for wealthholders with gross assets of

$325,000 or more, asset detail is presented only for individuals with gross assets exceeding $500,000 because

such detail was not required for the estates of decedents

with smaller assets.

The gross estate criterion is a Federal estate tax concept

of wealth that does not conform to the usual definitions of

wealth, primarily because it includes the face value of life

insurance in the wealth of the decedent. Therefore, three

measures of wealth are used in this article: gross assets (or

gross estate), total assets, and net worth.

Gross assets reflect the gross value of all assets, including the full face value of life insurance reduced by policy

loans but excluding any reduction for other indebtedness.

This measure defines the individuals included in the top

31

32

Estimates of Petsonal Wealth, 1982: A Second Look

wealthholder group. The amount of total assets, a lower

wealth value, is still essentially a gross measure. Total assets

are obtained by using the cash value of life insurance, i.e.,

the value the insurance had immediately before the policyholder's death [8]. Net worth, the level of wealth after all

debts have been removed, includes the cash value of life

insurance.

PERSONAL WEALTH IN 1982

Female wealthholders accounted for ~8.3 percent of the

4.5 million top wealthholders in 1982 (see Figure A) compared with 32.8 percent in 1976. But because women held

43.4 percent of the net worth of top wealthholders in 1982,

they had an average net worth nearly 24 percent higher

than that of their male counterparts.

Composition of Assets

In 1982, real estate constituted the largest share of the

assets held by all individuals with gross assets exceeding

$500,000 (see Figure B), continuing the trend first observed

the previous year [9]. In contrast, estate multiplier estimates.

of wealth for 1976and earlier years showed corporate stock

to be the most commonly-held asset [10]. Real estate and

corporate stock together accounted for more than 62

percent of the assets of these top wealthholders in 1982.

Corporate stock, long the most prominent asset in the

portfolio of top wealthholders, declined from more than 35

percent of the assets in 1976 to roughly 30 percent in 1982,

probably because of the decline in the stock market, as well

as the increase in the value of real estate during that period

Industrial

[11). Between 1976 and 1982 the Dow-Jones

'

Average fell 9.3 percent while the Consumer Price Index for

home purchases rose 67.2 percent [12, 13]. These measures of the market condition are reflected in the shift in the

composition of the assets of the wealthy for these 2 years.

Bonds and noncorporate business assets also switched

positions of importance [14]. The share of assets held as

bonds declined from more than 9 percent in 1976 to 7

percent in 1982, .and noncorporate business assets increased from 5 percent of the assets in 1976 to nearly 8

percent in 1982.

A look at the composition of assets by sex shows that the

share of the wealth held in the form of real estate and

corporate stock, was similar for men and women. On the

other hand, the difference in the proportion of the wealth

held as bonds or as noncorporate business assets is

noteworthy. Noncorporate business assets made up 9

percent of the assets of men in 1982, compared with 5.5

percent for women. Conversely, wealth held by women,was

typified by a greater concentration in bonds, over 9 percent, compared with only 5.5 percent for men. An examination of all other assets shows that notes and mortgages

and life insurance constituted a more significant portion of

the assets of men, while cash represented a greater share

of the assets of women.

Although, real estate constituted the greatest share of the

assets in the portfolio of all top wealthholders, the proportions of wealth held as real estate and corporate stock were

quite different for millionaires and submil,lionaires (see Figure C). Real estate made up just 25 percent of the assets of

millionaires; they held more.than 38 percent of their assets

as corpo rate stock. In contrast, real estate. accounted for

almost 42 percent of the assets of submillionaires; 20

percent of their assets were in corporate stock.

Cash and bonds together represented just over 15

percent of the assets of both groups of top wealthholders

but were held in quite different proportions. Whereas bonds

represented just under 5 percent of the assets of the less

wealthy group, they were, at 9 percent of the assets, the

third most common asset held by millionaires. Proportionately, millionaires held more corporate stock, bonds, and

heavily industrialized States of the Midwest had a lowerthan-average proportion of wealthy individuals.

noncorporate business assets and less real estate, cash,

notes and mortgages, and life insurance than the submillionaires.

Geographic Distribution of Wealth

In 1982, nearly 700,000 of the top wealthholders in the

United States lived in California. This was more than twice

the number of top wealthholders in the "second wealthiest"

State, Texas. New York, which had the most wealthy individuals in 1976, had dropped to third place by 1982. As a

result of the effect of the recent decline in oil prices on the

economy of Texas, coupled with Florida's rapid growth and

attractive tax policy (no State income tax), Florida may

become the "second wealthiest" State by the end of this

decade.

ESTATE MULTIPLIER TECHNIQUE

Researchers have been using the estate multiplier technique since the beginning of the 20th century (financial

records were used as early as 1864 to estimate total

personal wealth by a related technique) to draw conclusions

about the wealth of the living population through knowledge of the wealth of the deceased [15, 16]. The technique

assumes that estate tax returns taken as a whole represent

a random sample, designated by death, of the living

population. In fact, however, death is not a random event

and therefore is not a simple representative sample of the

living population under consideration.

The ratio of wealthy individuals to the adult population

illustrates the distribution of wealth, undistorted by the large

populations of certain States. California, the most populous

State, had an above-average concentration of wealth, with

15 percent of the top wealthholders but only 11 percent of

the Nation's adult population. Although there were a large

number of wealthholders in New York and Illinois, the

proportion of top wealthholders in these States was only

The probability of ''death's selection" of an individual,

i.e., that a person will die in a given year, depends on the

particulars of one's life. Age and sex are usually taken as

"gross" indicators of these conditions. If one knows the

Estimates of Personal Wealth, 1982: A Second Look

mortality rate and the number of deaths for each age and

sex group, one can derive the population of wealthholders

by multiplying the inverse of the mortality rate , by the

number of deaths in each group [8].

Vital to the estimates of personal wealth is the use of a

mortality rate appropriate to the top wealthholder population. This is essential to the estimates because there is

much evidence that the wealthy have mortality rates lower

than those of the population -as a whole. In other words,

social class also is a determinant in the "selection of the

sample" [17]. Therefore, an adjustment to the general

mortality rates is necessary.

The mortality rates assumed to approximate those of the

wealthy are based on the mortality experience of the

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's preferred-risk policyholders [181. Multipliers are then derived from the adjusted mortality rates for each decedent according to age

and sex. These multipliers, applied to sampled estate tax

return data, produce wealth estimates for the living population.

The multipliers used to develop the preliminary estimates

for 1982 were based on Metropolitan Life mortality experience for a 4-year period. As part of the effort to improve the

accuracy of these estimates, the Internal Revenue Service

has developed new mortality differentials and multipliers

based on data for a series of years between 1969 and

1982. Thus, the effect of the sampling variance of death has

been reduced.

As mentioned earlier, the updated estimates of personal

wealth in 1982 are based on a sample of estate tax returns

filed between 1982 and 1984 for individuals dying in 1982.

This approach, which is a departure from the year-of-filing

approach used fo r the preliminary 1982 estimates and for

the estimates for earlier studies, is designed primarily to

reduce the effects of inflation. The preliminary estimates of

personal wealth for 1982. were based on estate tax returns

filed during 1983. Although the returns filed thafyear were

primarily for decedents who died in the preceding year,

they also reflected deaths that occurred in 1983 as well as

deaths that occurred in 1981 and several earlier years.

Therefore, the estimates for the 1 year were achieved by

using values based on several.

levels of wealth [19, 20]. Yet, despite the large overall

sample size, the limited number of returns filed each year

for young (under 45 years of age) and very wealthy (gross

assets of $5 million or more) decedents can make results for

these categories subject to considerable sampling error.

The achieved selection probabilities of "death's sample"

of these relatively young and very wealthy decedents in a

given year can distort estimates of the wealth of the living.

Death samples at high and low rates which tend to average

out over a period of years, but which can result in large

short-term fluctuations, i.e., for a given year. When death

1. selects" a smaller sample, i.e.,

fewer deaths for a limited

population during a sample year, wealth estimates will be

lower than the true population values. Similarly, too large a

sample produces estimates that overstate the wealth of the

population.

The updated estimates of wealth for 1982 have incorporated two modifications from recent-year estimates designed to reduce the variability of death's annual sample

selection. First, the sample of estate tax returns was redesigned so that it was stratified by age as well as by size of

gross estate. Whereas all returns of the very wealthy (those

with gross estates of $5 million or more) were selected for

past studies, before the 1982 study the returns of the

relatively young were selected at rates dictated by the size

of gross estate. Thus, the high sampling variance already

present because of the limited number of, returns for

relatively young decedents was further increased by sampling those returns for less wealthy clecedents at rates less

than 100 percent. Starting with 1982, all estate

' tax returns,

regardless of the size of gross estate, were selected for

decedents under 45 years of age.

The sampling variability of the final estimates for wealthy

and relatively young individuals is reduced further. by

basing the estimates on returns filed for the specific year of

death (1982) during a 3-year period. Thus, this technique

produces more accurate estimates of the type and amount

of wealth of the young and very wealthy.

SUMMARY

In addition to reducing the effect of inflation, the use of a

year-of-death file has improved the estimates by reducing

the sampling error.

For 1982, approximately 4.5 million people- 2.8 percent

of the adult population of the United States-held gross

assets of $325,000 or more. The net worth of these

individuals exceeded $2.7 trillion and accounted for almost

30 percent of the personal wealth in this country.

The strength of the estate multiplier technique, in part,

lies in the large sample size. The sample of 19,000 returns

selected in 1983, on which the preliminary estimates of

wealth for 1982 were based, was considerably larger than

the samples selected for other studies for comparable

The top wealthholder in 1982 was typically a man under

50 years of age from California. Just over 60 percent of his

wealth was held as real estate and corporate stock, with

corporate stock becoming more prominent as wealth increased.

35

Estimates of Personal Wealth, 1982: A Second Look

Wealthy women, although still the minority of top wealthholders, nevertheless increased their representation from

less than 33 percent in 1976 to just over 38 percent in 1982.

Of the total, approximately 38 percent were under 50 years

of age, and over 36 percent were between 50 and 64 years

of age.

DATA SOURCES AND LIMITATIONS

Although estimates of wealth are provided for all individuals with gross assets of $325,000 or more, the composition of assets was examined only for wealthholders with

gross assets exceeding $500,000. This limitation is the

result of a change in the reporting requirements for the

estate tax returns on which the estimates are based.

Detailed asset information is not required to be filed on the

returns of persons who died after December 31, 1981 with

a gross estate (gross assets) of $500,000 or less. Nevertheless, 72 percent of the assets of the wealthholders derived

from this group were reported on the returns. Because the

decision to provide asset detail on the return may be a

reflection of the asset composition of the estate, the inclusion of estimates of wealth based on this incomplete detail

would have distorted the estimates and introduced a bias

into the estimates.

The treatment of the assets included on the estate tax

return as "lifetime transfers" was modified to provide more

accurate data on the composition of the assets of top

wealthholders. In the past, all assets reported as lifetime

transfers were included in the statistics as "other assets".

The redefinition of lifetime transfers under the Economic

Recovery Tax Act (ERTA) of 1981 made it more appropriate

to allocate lifetime transfers to the specific type of asset [21 1.

Figure E shows the effect of this change on the data for

1982.

and age of the decedent, along with the size of the gross

estate. The returns were selected during the 3-year period

at annual rates that ranged from 10 percent-for decedents

age 70 and older with gross estate under $1 million-to 100

percent-for decedents under age 45 or with gross estate

of $1 million and above-with weights appropriate to each

year maintained.

Of the returns filed during the 1982-1984 period, only

those filed for individuals dying in 1982 were selected, with

two exceptions. All returns for the very wealthy (those with

gross estates of $5 million or more) and individuals under

45 years of age were selected, regardless of the year of

death. The estate multipliers for those returns were adjusted

accordingly. Other returns filed during this period for individuals who died in years other than 1982 were not used for

these estimates.

Limitations

Because the data in this article are estimated on the basis

of a sample of estate tax returns filed with the Internal

Revenue Service, they are subject to sampling as well as

nonsampling error For proper use of the statistical data, the

magnitude of the potential sampling error must be known.

Figure F presents preliminary estimates of the coefficients

of variation (CV's) for frequency estimates. The approximate

CV's shown here are intended only as a general indication

of the reliability of the data. For a number other than that

shown, the corresponding CV's can be estimated by

interpolation. The reliability of estimates based on samples

and the use of coefficients of variation for evaluating the

precision of sample estimates are discussed in the Appendix.
