Worth.com Wealth Pulse : Wealth and Values

The Worth.com Wealth Pulse was developed by Worth Interactive to examine wealthy Americans' values, attitudes, beliefs and intentions, and to determine if and how they differ from those of the general population. Wealth and Values is the first in a series of surveys that will comprehensively document the point of view of high-net-worth individuals in America today. Wealth and Values is the result of a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, Inc., the global leader in online market research. Harris Interactive surveyed a representative sample of adults and wealth-market adults online, obtaining their responses on a series of subjects including happiness, security, charity, religion, employment and politics. For this study, the wealth market was defined as adults aged 21 or over with a household income of $150,000+ and net assets (not including primary residence) of $500,000 or more. In keeping with Worth Interactive's view of the wealth market as a highly varied group, responses were analyzed by age, gender, source of wealth, recency of wealth and level of assets. Highlights include facts and figures on attitudes towards charity, financial security, religion, faith and spirituality, relationships, career/employment, politics and children.
