Equifax Settlement Perspective
The settlement was for 700m USD. Rough estimate of the US population in 2019 is around 330 million people.
You could pay every single US resident a onetime payment of approximately 2.12 million USD from it.
Equifax is still in business.
re: Equifax Settlement Perspective
The average lifetime earnings in the US is 2.7m USD.
This number is heavily skewed upward by the wealthy elite as the average lifetime wage for a high graduate is 1.1m USD and for an associate degree holder is 1.7m USD.
