The median price paid by millionaires for their most recent acquisition was only $31,367. The typical price paid by decamillionaires was $41,997.
Yet thousands of people in my town drive BMWs, Audis and similar cars that often cost more than $30000.
Does this mean I live amongst thousands of milloinaires!?
No, it does not. It means you live among people who live outside their means.

>live outside their means.
Why would anyone do that?

To impress friends, have a 'milestone', feel adequate to society's expectations and have some form of tangible progression, among other reasons

OP, aren't you assuming that the distribution of wealth is proportional to the distribution of prices for a new car?
If I told you that the median price that millionaires spend on lunch at McDonald's is $6.50 and for decamillionaires, $7.00, are you going to assume that the price spent for people of average wealth is much lower?
