I know there are somehting like 47 million disabled people in USA. I was just wondering how many of them are millionaires. Or alternately, how many millionaires are disabled?

I got the number 47 million disabled from the 2000 Census. I would suppose that it includes everything - from learning disabilities to physical to mental and emotional. It also counts children in that number, which I didn't intend to include in my question.
I found on CNN's website that 0.8% (or 1 out of every 125) of the US population was a millionaire in 2004. Can we suppose that 0.8% of disabled adults are also millionaires? What evidence is there that this would not be so?

I'd guess that Stephen Hawking is a millionaire.
I'm sure Superman aka Christopher Reeve was a millionaire at the time of his accident. I heard that the cost of his care depleted his wealth.

Not very many. Also, your estimates of 47 million disabled in the US are way too high. What are you including in that number, both physical and mental (such as chronically depressed people)?
