Americans’ net worth soars despite economic uncertainty

The total wealth of US households has spiked recently due to the knockout performance of illiquid investments.
The Bag: Despite economic uncertainty, inflation, and a weak labor market, the US stock and housing markets have added nearly $50 trillion to the net worth of US households since the pandemic. That’s great news for Americans in the short term, but it could also forecast a serious economic bubble.
Between The Lines: The net worth of US households has spiked to $176.3 trillion in Q2 of 2025, per Bloomberg.
Mutual funds and corporate equities saw a major chunk of these gains, adding $5.5 trillion in Q2.
The real estate sector added $1.2 trillion this quarter, with total assets ballooning from $29.8 trillion to $48.1 trillion since 2020.
Simultaneously, debt is increasing across the board, with both the federal government and households borrowing more.
Conclusion: Though impressive, these gains are not the kind that most Americans will be able to access. They’re either illiquid — tied up in property or mutual funds — or concentrated in massive corporate entities like banks, hedge funds, and large landowners. If anyone sees short-term profits from this, it’s likely to be asset managers.
Prediction: This stellar performance may not last. While by no means certain, there are good reasons to believe that AI hype and relentless optimism may be taking the US economy to the verge of a bubble.
Don’t expect the line to go up forever.
