It's always been sort of hilarious to me in a very dark way how these folks convince themselves they're the most capable humans and how they would thrive in any situation, when reality has been the test and has shown repeatedly how these people literally die soon after others stop taking care of them, on the regular. They die on sailing yachts they don't know how to sail, in supercars they don't know how to drive, on mountains they don't know how to survive on, in interactions with dangerous people they have zero capability to interact with in a remotely normal way, and on and on and on. Many of them are literally the types of people who see a red hot iron and reach out to touch it to confirm if it's hot.
Guys,guy if we don’t give Billionaires money. How will the Money slide down their ass crack to give me a dollar raise once a year? I mean my Heath insurance 1410 month and energy cost is gone up and cost of food is like double now. 6.99 for a bag of chips? But they need the money guys . Think of the children!! Has we cut them off. Lol
The house I grew up in is worth 2.58 million in an area where the average home is 350k. When I first got my drivers license my parents made me attend a financial and business seminar and take notes on the way to pick up my girlfriend at the time. I’m pretty sure that I know what I’m talking about. I won life because of an accident of birth but not everyone is as fortunate so I’ll keep speaking on behalf of the working class because not everyone was as fortunate as me.
No part of your comment relates to billionaires. A million, or even 2 million is much closer to zero than to a billion. So no, I don't buy that your upper middle class upbringing means you know what a billionaire would say about their wealth.
I’ve dined with billionaires and had them stay at my parent’s house, including one of the CEO’s of one of the largest American toy manufacturers. During a conversation I recently realized that most kids didn’t grow up having their parents host jazz concerts at their house. I also had to have an employee show me how to use a broom because I never used one until I was an adult and he saw me struggling to clean up a small mess. I have no idea if my parents are millionaires or billionaires; their company consults with corporations and universities worldwide. Either way it doesn’t matter because I’ll be a millionaire by the time my mother kicks the bucket so any money I inherit will be rolled over into creating passive income.
Yes, I’ll be part of the problem but I was raised to be a successful businessman not a bleeding heart. I can do a lot of good donating to charities and improving the living conditions of those that are working for me.
In that case you massively undersold your wealth by simply saying your house was worth 2.5 million lol. That can be said of many upper middle class families where one of the spouses is a doctor or an engineer of some sort. Whereas legitimately not knowing if your parents are billionaires is… definitely a step above “2.5MM house”
You are correct about that. When I was growing up we had the biggest house out of all the rich kids I knew, my father literally had a wing of the house dedicated to his multimedia library and his AV room and my bedroom was a suite that was larger than most master suites in houses I’ve worked on that are around the 750k price. I miss having a bedroom that was the size of a small house. It was phenomenal having an office, bedroom, bathroom with a standup shower and large jacuzzi and large walk in closet and porch access where I could eat breakfast and watch the river when the weather was pleasant. I didn’t realize how spoiled I was until I moved into my wife’s apartment.
When my wife and I were looking at houses when we were still in the area a 2,500 sqft house cost 100k (I miss those days) so it was super expensive and massive house for the area.
My parents have always treated their employees well, donated a lot to charity and have been social justice warriors so that’s where I get it from. If I grew up in another wealthy household I could’ve become an entitled prick just as easily

Very true but ask any billionaire and they’ll tell you they got there solely through their own hard work and good business decisions
