If your parents left you a home, you’re probably a millionaire too. Many blue collar working folk are millionaires, except if they tried to spend those millions they’d become homeless.
I mean the millionaire class is a grey area between those who are so rich they are completely out of touch with working class realities, and those who were working class who got a break and played a good hand right.
Personally I don’t really have a problem with millionaires, that’s an amount you can make playing by the rules and not bending them to your own will.
It’s also just not a huge wealth disparity. Like having 5-10x more than the average is more tolerable than having 10,000x more than the average. if someone drove a car that was worth 10x more than mine, it would be a new Honda. If they had a house 5x larger it would be a large family home. This actually adjusts to the needs of society.
depends on how they got the money, did the guy come from wealth? if so he might be so detached from everyone else, even as a millionaire. or did he build up his wealth from the ground up, without the help of NEPTOTISM.
And there lies the real problem, the handing down of large sums of money. Entrenched wealth and power of an aristocracy. It destroys the meritocracy and the desire to progress society. My grandpa taught me a valuable lesson by giving all his money away. He paid for school, camp, life skills and that was it. True believer in the American dream having secured it for himself. I often wonder what he would think about the current state of the economy. As well as how I would interpret the state of the economy, if I wasn’t living in utter fucking poverty. I would not have the same attachment to social issues if I wasn’t front lines on the war against the poor.
Millionaire CEO? Who is this broke bitch?
I know right he only has an estimated 1/10th of a billion.
VC usually has 100s of millions or billions. hes probably the one that uses funds from billionaires into his company?
Lmao I’m thinking the same! Like damn he’s struggling with us normal folks in the trenches!

Plus it just means “homeowner” in way too many cities.
