High net worth individual is a classification used by charities to denote an individual or a family with high net worth. Although there is no precise definition of how wealthy one must be to fit into this category, high net worth is generally quoted in terms of liquid assets over a certain figure. The cultivation of this type of income takes time and is not a quick win.
