China is accelerating its move away from U.S. dollar-denominated assets, with the share of U.S. Treasuries and the Dollar in the country&#8217;s reserves reaching its lowest levels in over a decade. 
What Happened: On Thursday, The Kobeissi Letter, in a post on X, captured this dramatic shift, which began back in 2016 and has accelerated substantially in recent years.
&#8220;The share of US Treasury Holdings in total Chinese FX reserves has declined by 15 percentage points since 2016,&#8221; it says, with a chart highlighting the same. At the same time, its allocation to gold has risen nearly five percentage points to a record 6.8%, essentially doubling since 2022.

During this period, the People&#8217;s Bank of China has acquired 200 tonnes of gold in an effort to boost its hard assets, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/22/03/26149100/betting-against-bonds-our-freezing-of-russias-dollar-assets-will-likely-drive-china-away-from-u-s-tr">becoming less vulnerable</a> to Western sanctions and the dollar-based financial infrastructure.
The chart highlights an acceleration in the trend beginning in early 2022, when Western powers froze <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37355108/russia-warns-of-eroding-trust-in-dollar-euro-over-potential-asset-seizure-to-aid-ukraine-the-reliabi">nearly $300 billion</a> worth of Russian assets following its invasion of Ukraine.
&#8220;Gold is more desired than ever,&#8221; the post concludes, capturing the growing global interest in the metal as a store of value amid economic uncertainty, persistent inflation, and sovereign risk.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s gold imports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/05/45617358/gold-demand-holds-firm-as-dollar-confidence-wavers">surged 73% year-over-year</a> in April 2025, after the People&#8217;s Bank eased restrictions on imports, to cater to the growing retail and institutional demand.
Analyst Rick Rule of Rule Investment Media attributes this to the absolute erosion of the dollar&#8217;s purchasing power. He says, &#8220;In the next 10 years, the U.S. dollar will lose about 75% of its purchasing power,&#8221; while adding that &#8220;It will do relatively well relative to other currencies, but it won't do well in the absolute sense.&#8221;
Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff recently commented on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/06/46115111/americans-are-not-prepared-says-harvard-economist-about-chinas-de-dollarization-interest-rates-are-going-to-be-higher-for-a-very-very-long-time">consequences of this trend</a>, saying that &#8220;Americans are not prepared&#8221; for the fiscal and monetary strain that de-dollarization is set to create going forward.
&#8220;I think real interest rates are going to be higher for a very, very long time,&#8221; Rogoff said. &#8220;That era of low interest rates is over.&#8221;
Price Action: The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) just hit its lowest level since February 2022, trading at 97.298 against a basket of other currencies. 
This comes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46115346/trump-powell-fed-chairman-odds-dollar">amid growing concerns</a> of President Donald Trump appointing a &#8220;shadow chair&#8221; for the Fed well before Jerome Powell&#8217;s term ends in 2026. Since Trump took office in January, the index is down steeply, by 11%, dropping from 109.35.
Meanwhile, Gold spot prices are down 0.39%, trading at $3,318.12/oz at the time of writing this.

Trump Appointing A 'Shadow Chair' At The Fed Has Put Dollar Under Pressure, Meanwhile China Is Dumping The Greenback And Hoarding Gold

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) subsidiary Ring has introduced a new feature, Video Descriptions, powered by Gen AI, to enhance home security.
What Happened: The new feature, Video Descriptions, utilizes generative AI (Gen AI) to provide detailed alerts, distinguishing between urgent and everyday activities at a glance. This feature is currently available in beta for Ring Home Premium subscribers in the U.S. and Canada, according to an official announcement on Thursday.
Ring&#8217;s founder, Jamie Siminoff, stated that the company is leveraging the potential of Gen AI to shift more of the home security responsibility to Ring&#8217;s AI. Jamie further said, "Simultaneously, we will be adding custom anomaly alerts, which generate alerts only when something happens on your property that is an anomaly to your property.&#8221;

Once enabled, the Video Descriptions feature will provide text descriptions of the motion activity captured by Ring doorbells and cameras, offering real-time details of the events. The descriptions are designed to be concise, allowing users to quickly determine if the activity requires their attention.
Ring also plans to combine multiple motion activities into a single alert and generate alerts only when something unusual happens on the user&#8217;s property.
Video Descriptions is currently being rolled out in beta to Ring Home Premium subscribers in the U.S. and Canada and can be enabled through the Ring app. The feature is compatible with all currently available Ring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42666738/how-apples-upcoming-smart-doorbell-compares-to-amazons-ring">doorbells</a> and cameras.
Why It Matters: The integration of AI in home security systems is becoming increasingly common. In June, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739990/microsoft-brings-openais-sora-to-the-masses-with-free-ai-video-generator-in-bing-app-after-googles-veo-3-wowed-the-internet-heres-what-you-can-and-cant-do">Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)</a> integrated OpenAI&#8217;s Sora model into its Bing app, allowing users to generate videos from text for free. This move by Ring further solidifies the trend of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42838001/amazons-ring-introduces-smart-smoke-alarms-at-ces-2025-boosting-home-security-with-pro-monitoring-features">AI-powered home security solutions</a>.
Price Action: On Thursday, Amazon (AMZN) closed at $217.12, up by 2.42% on the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose slightly to $218.18, representing a 0.49% gain.

Amazon's Ring Launches AI-Powered Video Descriptions To Enhance Home Security

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Bill Gates has once again <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44392153/bill-gates-cautions-trump-administration-his-foundation-cannot-bridge-global-health-funding-gaps-amid-usaid-cuts-reports">expressed his concerns</a> about the impact of continued U.S. cuts to global health aid, warning that these reductions could lead to an additional 8 million child deaths by 2040, citing a study.
What Happened: Sharing his Gates notes on X, formerly Twitter, Gates said he has worked in global health for over 25 years. &#8220;At this point, I know as much about improving health in poor countries as I do about software.&#8221;
He then highlighted concerns about the consequences of slashed funding for health initiatives. &#8220;So when the United States and other governments suddenly cut their aid budgets the way they&#8217;ve been doing, I know for a fact that more children will die.&#8221;

Gates noted that the cuts are already being felt, with critical programs like tuberculosis detection and malaria prevention stalling and life-saving medication being delayed.
He also shared personal stories from his recent visits to Nigeria and Ethiopia, where he witnessed firsthand how the cuts to U.S. aid have disrupted local healthcare systems.
Despite these setbacks, Gates remains optimistic. &#8220;It's not too late to change course,&#8221; he said on Thursday, urging Congress to restore funding to vital programs like PEPFAR (the U.S. President&#8217;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) and the Global Fund.

Why It's Important: On Thursday, The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/26/cancer-research-trump-nci-cuts-plan">reported</a> that experts and former officials warn that the Donald Trump administration's proposed 2026 budget, which slashes nearly $2.7 billion—or 37%—from the National Cancer Institute, could lead to more patient deaths by severely undermining cancer research efforts.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Rangebound, Dogecoin Dips Amid Potential July Tariff Deadline Extension: Analyst Predicts BTC's 'Next Big Move' Once It Breaks Out Of This Range

Protesters gathered worldwide on June 14 for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45916986/walmart-heiress-takes-on-trump-with-no-kings-ad-white-house-calls-it-burning-some-of-her-inheritance-for-a-pr-stunt">"No Kings Day" demonstration</a> — an event focused on rejecting authoritarianism and celebrating democratic values. The protests made headlines not just for its message, but for its participants: a large contingent of Baby Boomers, many draped in U.S flags and holding signs like "I &#x2764;&#xFE0F; THE CONSTITUTION."
These images prompted commentary from journalists and public figures alike. One <a href="https://x.com/njhochman/status/1933999681656283279">post on X</a> came from journalist Nate Hochman, who described the older protestors' patriotism as fundamentally different from that of younger generations.&nbsp;

"For the aging former flower children at these protests today," Hochman wrote, "America is basically good, and Trump is bad because he opposes the things that make America good."
Mark Cuban, entrepreneur and investor, <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1934295785698406867">responded</a> by listing eight major reasons why Boomers see the world differently — and used the moment to call for unity in a divided nation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cuban's Take: Boomers Are Shaped by Shared National Trauma</h2>
According to Cuban, understanding Boomer perspectives means understanding the turbulent history they lived through — much of it before even graduating high school. He outlined eight defining forces that shaped their worldview:
<ol class="wp-block-list">

"Each successive generation saw technology make each of our experiences a little bit more individualized," he wrote. "Today, we all have our own algorithm feeding us what monetizes us the best."
With that personalization comes fragmented perspectives — and fewer shared stories like the ones that unified the Boomer generation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Call for Leadership That Unites, Not Divides</h2>
Rather than dwell on these differences, Cuban ended with a plea for national unity. "That's why this country truly needs leaders who want to bring us together as a country," he wrote — leaders who aren't motivated by party loyalty, personal gain, or power, but by a deep commitment to the American people.
"Our President is the one thing we all have in common," Cuban added. His message: if we want to move forward, we'll need someone who can reach across generational lines — and bring all Americans to the same table.

Mark Cuban Lists 8 Reasons Boomers See The World Differently — And Says It's Time For A Leader Who Unites Us

The S&amp;P 500 index soared to record highs on Thursday, marking a significant recovery from the steep selloff experienced just a few months ago. The market rebound is driven by easing trade tensions, robust corporate earnings, and receding recession fears. 
For the day, the S&amp;P 500 rose 0.8% to 6,141.02, the Nasdaq gained nearly 1% to 20,167.91 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average spiked 0.9% to 43,386.84.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day:

BigBear.Ai, Nike, Core Scientific, Cyngn, And Amazon: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Having your card declined is awkward. But having it declined at the end of a full restaurant meal — while your server stands there, waiting — takes it to another level. And when that server reacts with visible attitude? Now you're paying with your dignity, not your card.
That's exactly what one Redditor claimed happened during a dinner date with his wife. In a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/s/rioKuISBgH">now-viral post titled "AITAH for tipping 83¢?"</a> he laid it out: his card was flagged for fraud and declined by the bank, the waitress got snippy, and instead of her usual 30% tip, she got a sharp 83 cents.

</ul>
The waitress, according to the man, slapped the card on the table and said only one word: "Declined." When he offered a second card, she just stood there, silent. So he asked: "You okay?" That's when she reportedly snapped back: "If I go back and try to run this, are you still going to be sitting here when I get back?"
He responded by asking if she thought her tone was appropriate. Her reply? "You're only a customer if you pay." At that point, he asked to speak to the manager — but she never brought one over.
Eventually, the second card went through. She returned, apologized, and handed him the receipt.
Instead of tipping the $28.83 he said he would have left for good service, he wrote in $0.83 — a signal, not a service fee.
"You're really not going to tip me?" she asked.
"No," he replied. "You were rude to me."
The waitress then pulled the sympathy card: "I have to tip out the bartender and the busboy. I just paid money to serve you."
His response? "Well, in the future you shouldn't be so rude."
His wife, meanwhile, wasn't on board. She argued it was likely a misunderstanding and told him he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43236358/tipping-culture-cracking-gratuities-drop-to-a-six-year-low-as-rising-prices-and-overwhelming-gratuity-prompts-turn-customers-away">should've left at least $10</a> out of courtesy.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
But Reddit? Reddit came to his defense — hard.
"Your waitress <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45589413/shaquille-o-neal-says-a-young-waitress-once-asked-him-for-a-4000-tip-to-pay-her-rent-for-two-months-and-he-said-ok-no-problem">earned every penny of that tip</a>!" one user wrote.
"I wouldn't have tipped 83 cents. NTA," another added.
Even ex-servers jumped in:
"Former server here — I always tip 20% unless they're rude. You can mess up, be slammed, and I'll understand. But don't take it out on me."
Another commenter put it bluntly:
"She f—ed around and found out."
Several former waitstaff said they handled declined cards with grace — especially since it's often due to tech issues or fraud flags, not intentional dodging. One even shared:
"I waited tables for years and never once embarrassed someone over a declined card. That's not how you treat people."
And yet, in a sea of Not the A&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;,&#x2A; there was a rare outlier — a hairstylist who admitted they understood the waitress's reaction and suggested maybe a partial tip was still fair:
"I wouldn't have tipped well, but I wouldn't have tipped 83 cents either… Tip at least <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">enough for them to break even</a>, maybe $5–10. But still, I may just be biased."
The comment struck a nerve — and it showed. It was the only one buried with 28 downvotes.
The court of public opinion was clear. He didn't want to pay to be insulted, and Reddit agreed he shouldn't have.
For the record, servers are <a href="https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/wagestips">legally supposed to earn at least minimum wage</a> once tips are factored in — but whether that actually happens depends on the state and the employer. So yes, while tipping isn't technically mandatory, it is how most servers survive — and choosing that job means relying on the kindness (and mood) of strangers.
Then again, kindness works both ways. And sometimes, a little respect might be worth more than 83 cents.

'I Don't Want to Pay to Be Insulted' — Man Tipped Rude Waitress $0.83, But Wife Says He Still Should've Left $10. Now He's Asking Who Was Right

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made notable trades, including the sale of shares in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>). These trades come amid significant developments for both companies, with Coinbase receiving a price target boost and Block&#8217;s Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) strategy coming into focus.

The sale of these shares by Ark Invest is valued at approximately $12.32 million, based on the latest closing price of $369.21.
The Block Trade
In another significant move, Ark Invest sold 189,649 shares of the Jack Dorsey-led company through its ARKK fund.

Cathie Wood's Thursday Crypto Moves: Ark Unloads Nearly $25 Million In Coinbase, Block Stocks

Recent comments by President Donald Trump comparing the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear sites to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 have sparked criticism from Japanese officials and atomic bomb survivors.
What Happened: During a news conference in the Netherlands on Wednesday, Trump lauded the operation to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. He drew parallels between the &#8220;monumental damage&#8221; inflicted on Iran and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which brought World War II to a close, <a href="https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20250626_15/">reported</a> NHK World, the Japanese state broadcaster.
Mimaki Toshiyuki, co-chair of Nihon Hidankyo, a group representing atomic bomb survivors, expressed his disapproval of Trump&#8217;s remarks. Toshiyuki&#8217;s group, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2024, labelled the comments as &#8220;unacceptable&#8221;.
The Hiroshima City assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Thursday, advocating&nbsp;for the peaceful resolution of&nbsp;all armed conflicts. The resolution&nbsp;underscored the city&#8217;s refusal to accept comments justifying&nbsp;the use of atomic bombs&nbsp;or threatening citizens&#8217; freedom.
Nagasaki City&#8217;s mayor, Suzuki Shiro, reiterated these sentiments, stating that the use of nuclear weapons is &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; under any circumstances. He urged Trump and other world leaders to visit Nagasaki to comprehend the inhumanity of nuclear weapons.
Japan&#8217;s Chief Cabinet Secretary, Hayashi Yoshimasa, also weighed in on the issue, highlighting the immense suffering caused by the atomic bombings and the incompatibility of nuclear weapons use with humanitarian principles.

Why It Matters: The criticism comes in the wake of Trump&#8217;s announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">&#8220;spectacular military success&#8221;</a> following successful strikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites. The strikes were aimed at the destruction of Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capacity and to halt the nuclear threat posed by Iran.
This controversy adds to the existing tension between the U.S. and Japan. Recently, Japan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46041072/tokyo-cancels-key-security-summit-after-trump-administration-pushes-for-3-5-defense-spending-report">cancelled a key bilateral security meeting</a> with the U.S. after Washington abruptly raised its demand for Tokyo to increase defense spending to 3.5% of GDP, up from the previously requested 3%. 
Furthermore, Japan&#8217;s chief trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, has termed Trump&#8217;s 25% auto tariffs as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46109160/japans-top-trade-negotiator-calls-trumps-25-auto-tariffs-unacceptable-amid-ongoing-talks">&#8216;unacceptable&#8217;</a> amid ongoing trade talks.

Trump's Comparison Of US Strikes On Iran To Hiroshima And Nagasaki Atomic Bombings Sparks Outrage In Japan: 'Unacceptable'

It's common for young adults to move out of home shortly after graduating college, especially if they spent their college years in student housing. However, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/1lh4o3e/should_i_move_back_home_in_my_late_20s/">living with your parents</a> for a few years after graduating college offers several financial advantages, and a 27-year-old is considering those benefits.
She graduated with an information technology degree last year but hasn't yet found a job in her field. She's currently working part-time at a fast food restaurant and feels like she is wasting her money on rent. Furthermore, she has bad credit.
"I'm not sure where to go from here," she stated.
Redditors offered their advice and shared their experiences with living alone and moving back to their parents' house.

"I was able to create a savings [account] and have enough money to pay off a good chunk of my debt!" one Redditor explained.&nbsp;
It's easier to build your finances when you live with your parents because you will have fewer expenses. You won't have to make monthly rent payments, and some of your other expenses will be covered as well. It also helps when multiple people can run errands like grocery shopping and laundry instead of all of those responsibilities falling on one person.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These Times Are Different</h2>
Some people feel embarrassed that they have to move back with their parents, especially after they enjoyed a few years of living alone. The 27-year-old may have that concern since she was worried about the post getting a lot of downvotes because she is considering moving back home in her late 20s.
While young adults may hear stories about how their parents married and bought a house in their late 20s, they had an easier financial environment than Gen Z. One Redditor mentioned this in the comments so people wouldn't feel as bad about moving back with their parents or feel like they aren't progressing as much as they would like to.
"The times we are in are very different from when your parents and grandparents were in their prime. Housing is not affordable; inflation and the value of the dollar places you at an insane disadvantage. Lower/Middle-class families can only get ahead by banding together. No shame in survival," one commenter stated.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Parents Won't Be Around Forever</h2>
If you have a good relationship with your parents, moving back in with them can lead to plenty of pleasant memories. It's easy to forget that the people we cherish will eventually no longer be with us.
Finances aren't the only driving force between more people living with their parents. People who love their parents may just want to spend more time with them. Some people do not move out until they get married. Other commenters suggested staying at home until you find a more stable job.
"It was good to keep in touch with my parents again, help out a bit in the house until I could get my income back up and move out again," one Redditor said about their experience.

Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest, has recently been on a hot streak of successful and high-profile trades through her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46107133/cathie-wood-doubles-down-on-shopify-buys-the-dip-dumps-4-6-million-worth-of-robinhood-stock-at-peak">flagship ARK ETFs.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Wood's recent notable trades include selling a significant stake in Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) and increasing her investment in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). 
These moves reflect a strategic shift in ARK's portfolio, emphasizing established technology and semiconductor exposure while reducing positions in companies that have experienced rapid price appreciation.

Last week, ARK <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46041276/cathie-woods-ark-invest-adds-airbnb-amd-shopify-to-portfolio-slashes-stake-in-circle-internet">offloaded more than</a> 600,000 Circle shares for approximately $147.81 million, followed by more sales amounting to an additional nearly $100 million on Monday. 
Circle, known for issuing the USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) stablecoin, had seen its stock surge more than 650% since its initial public offering on June 5. Wood's decision to sell appears to be a classic profit-taking move after such a meteoric rise.&nbsp;
At the same time, ARK has been ramping<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46066220/cathie-woods-ark-invest-cashes-out-109-million-out-of-circle-internet-stock-as-shares-spike-pivots-into-robinhood-and-these-chip-stocks"> up its stake</a> in AMD, purchasing over 130,000 shares on Monday and more than 247,000 shares in the previous week, totaling tens of millions of dollars in new investments.&nbsp;
AMD is increasingly recognized as a strong alternative to NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the AI chip market, with significant growth in data center and AI processor demand. 
AMD shares are up more than 30% over the past month. The stock received a boost from analyst upgrades, with CFRA raising its rating to Strong Buy and lifting its price target to $165 from $125.&nbsp;
The upgrade reflects growing confidence in AMD's position within the semiconductor and AI sectors, areas where ARK has shown sustained interest.
Wood's strategy appears to be a bet on the broader AI chip market rather than picking a single winner, as evidenced by her holdings in both AMD and Nvidia.&nbsp;

There's no shortage of financial advice telling you how much you should save for retirement. But what does retirement actually look like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45585378/do-you-have-an-upper-class-nest-egg-heres-what-the-top-20-have-saved-for-retirement-hint-its-less-than-youd-think">when you're in the upper class</a>? When you've built real wealth and stopped working — what does that monthly income actually add up to?
For most affluent retirees, the answer lands somewhere between $7,000 and $20,000 per month. That's not just a guess — it's based on how much wealthier households withdraw from investments, plus any additional income they may bring in from rentals or pensions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Does an Upper-Class Retiree Really Bring in Each Month?</h2>
Pew Research <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41204085/what-screams-im-upper-class-these-are-the-not-so-subtle-signs-of-wealth-according-to-people-on-s">defines upper income</a> as earning at least twice the national median household income. For working households, that bar sits around $149,000 a year, or roughly $12,400 per month.
But retirees aren't working 9 to 5 — their income often comes from a mix of withdrawals, rental income, and other passive streams. So a more realistic benchmark is based on retiree households specifically.
According to the <a href="https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2023/demo/p60-279.pdf">U.S. Census</a>, the median income for households age 65 and older is about $50,290 per year, or $4,190 per month. Using Pew's same logic, that would put the upper-class retiree threshold around $100,580 per year, or $8,380 per month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Social Security: A Reliable Starting Point</h2>
As of 2025, the maximum monthly Social Security benefit for someone who waits until age 70 is $5,108, according to the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/faqs/en/questions/KA-01897.html">Social Security Administration</a>. While few retirees receive the absolute max, upper-income earners who delay claiming often see checks in the $3,500 to $4,200 per month range. It's a meaningful stream of income—but for upper-class retirees, it's typically just one piece of a larger financial plan.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Withdrawals from Investments: Where the Bulk Comes From</h2>
If a retiree has a $1 million nest egg and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43399160/suze-orman-says-ditch-the-4-retirement-rule-and-opt-for-less-its-very-dangerous-and-no-longer-works-in-todays-financial-environment">follows the classic 4% rule</a>, they're withdrawing about $40,000 per year — or $3,333 per month. But many upper-class retirees have more than that. With $2 million saved, the withdrawal climbs to around $6,667 per month.
Of course, the 4% rule doesn't account for taxes, inflation, or personal spending habits. Many retirees with large portfolios adjust their strategy to pull slightly more or less, depending on market performance and life expectancy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rental Income, Dividends, and Side Streams</h2>
Affluent retirees don't just rely on retirement accounts. Some hold rental properties that bring in steady cash flow. Others have dividends, annuities, or part-time income. These extra streams can add another $1,000 to $3,500 or more each month.
And unlike fixed-income retirees, the upper class often has flexibility — they're not just living off what they saved, they're continuing to generate income.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What They're Actually Spending</h2>
According to the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cesan.nr0.htm">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>, the average household age 65 and up spends about $57,818 annually — or roughly $4,818 a month. But that's just average. Wealthier retirees often spend far more, not because they're extravagant, but because their lifestyle includes property taxes, travel, healthcare, and legacy planning.
And to comfortably cover those costs — while preserving their lifestyle — many upper-income retirees maintain a monthly income in the $7,000 to $10,000 range, with some bringing in $15,000 to $20,000 or more.
For anyone aiming to join that upper tier, it's a wake-up call: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">the retirement goal</a> isn't just about hitting a number — it's about building an income plan that holds up month after month.
