tenthousandaire
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: tenthousandaires
Senses: examples: text: Statistics tells us that the average farmer is a “tenthousandaire.” Isn’t that a right nifty title of affluence? […] ALL “TENTHOUSANDAIRES” / SEVENTEEN years ago, in 1900, the average value of a farm in the United States, including land, buildings, equipment, etc., was $3,563. Ten years later in 1910, this average value had advanced to $6,444, an increase of more than eighty percent. There are abundant evidences that during the last seven years this value has advanced at even a greater rate. But we’ll not take advantage of that indication. Suppose the former rate of increase were simply unchanged. It would mean the value of the average farm, which, of course, is determined by the total value of the seven million good, bad and indifferent farms in the whole country, is something very like $10,000.
