To qualify under the United States Securities Exchange Commission's (SEC) definition of an accredited investor, a financial angel must have a net worth of at least $1 million and earn at least $200,000 to $300,000 a year if investing jointly with a spouse. According to recently released figures from the IRS, about 3.9 million persons in the U.S. qualify as accredited investors.
