At some point it is true but to some people it is not the case. Someone on Quora asked Does the definition of a millionaire include house value, or is it retirement?

He received lot of answers

Retirement Loving said “Perspective is key when considering the term, “millionaire”… Actually having $1M at your disposal is very different from having $1M in retirement savings. Technically, a millionaire is worth $1M or more, which includes everything you own, as in your house, your car, your inherited antiques and jewelry, minus any form of debt to your name.

Having managed to stow away enough into my investments, and allowing them time to grow I am a millionaire, technically. I’m 100% debt free. That sounds good, and it is. But, now that I’ve retired, that $1M is all I’ve got to live on until I die. So my upper class worth only allows me to live a middle class life, which is great, but I’m not rolling in cash either.”

Allen Griffey said “In the United States, the definition of a millionaire is an individual who has $1 million or more in net assets. That means the value of everything you own minus liabilities. So if you own a $1,000,000 house with $700,000 on the mortgage, that’s $300,000 in net worth. If you have no mortgage, you’re a millionaire. You may be living paycheck to paycheck, but you ticked the box”

“The problem is that in the USA, the term millionaire means wealthy. If you’re a millionaire you’re supposed to be totally financially independent and not have any worries about money unless there’s another Great Depression. Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, and John D Rockefeller were millionaires, not some cab driver in San Francisco that inherited his mom’s house.”

“Because we don’t have a term that really replaces millionaire we continue to use it. In some wealth discussions in the press you’ll hear about decamillionaires or centimillionaires (should be hectomillionaires, they mean people worth $100 million, but Americans don’t really do metric.) but those terms haven’t really taken off. You’ll also hear about 10 figure net worth individuals. Other terms include HNWI (High Net Worth Individual means $1,000,000 in investable assets, so more than a millionaire), VHNWI (Very HNWI, $5 million in investable assets), and UHNWI (Ultra HNWI, $30 million).”

“Retirement requires income without regard for house value. If you’re an American in the “new normal” of no pension with all income coming from Social Security, savings, and 401Ks/IRAs you may need to sell your paid off house and move to a cheaper part of the country if you have most of your net worth tied up in a house. If you’re living the “old normal” of a decent pension of some sort with Social Security and 401Ks/IRAs as a supplement, you can probably stay in your paid off house with no problem.
