What the record shows
Federal Reserve reports household net worth increased approximately $5.4 trillion from Q4 2024 to Q2 2025 (6 months). Extrapolating to 19 months yields ~$17 trillion, not $25 trillion. S&P 500 gains over 19 months (June 2024–Dec 2025) approximately $16–18 trillion.
$25 trillion wealth creation over 19 months exceeds all authoritative measures by 50% or more. Largest plausible metric (household net worth) shows ~$17 trillion gain.
