Average networth by age decade in the US, per Empower:

20s: $104,878
30s: $292,609
40s: $740,646
50s: $1,345,922
60s: $1,654,961
70s: $1,600,801
80s: $1,482,179


Median from same source:

20s: $7,467
30s: $35,435
40s: $126,126
50s: $290,271
60s: $446,703
70s: $371,603
80s: $345,253 
 Left skewed data with a long tail.  Maxwell-Boltzmann or Landau distributions might model this well. 

I suspect 20s and 30s are multi model and smoothed out later.

Would be cool to see the full data set
