Understand the context: The problem asks about the share of total wealth owned by the bottom 50% of families in the USA, specifically those with net worth less than \$122,000.
Recall the concept of wealth distribution: Wealth is often distributed very unevenly, with a small percentage of families owning a large portion of total wealth, and a large percentage owning a small portion.
Identify the relevant data: According to studies on wealth inequality, the bottom 50% of families typically own a very small fraction of total wealth, often much less than their population share.
Compare the given options: The choices are 25%, 10%, 50%, and 2%. Given the known high concentration of wealth at the top, the bottom 50% owning about 2% aligns with empirical data on wealth inequality in the USA.
Conclude that the bottom 50% of families own approximately 2% of total wealth, reflecting significant wealth inequality.
