Are there many rich people in Japan?

Question:


I am friends with an international student who is from Japan. His dad is an Economics professor in Japan with a PHD degree and his mom owns a company (not a big company though). He isn't from Toyko though, which is known as a very expensive city to live in. He lives very frugally here in the USA as a college student though. He has roommates and whatnot, and he tries his best to save money as opposed to spending it. He even goes out of his way to save money. I know this isn't really my business, but I'm just wondering about Japanese culture anyway LOL. Does he sound rich for Japanese people, or upper middle-class based on my description? What are the wealthy's and middle-class people in Japan's life like? Thank you for answering. :) Btw, I asked a second time because I only got a few answers for the first time lol

Answer:


There are rich people and like most rich people elsewhere, many don't flaunt their wealth but prefer to remain quiet that is why there are no accurate figures on the exact numbers in Japan
