Yeah “rich” starts at way less than a billion dollars. Someone with a paltry 10 million in the bank is already absolutely loaded, and has won the game.
Most of us would be more than happy with 100k in the bank, honestly, as long as our society is stable and structured to care for “nonproductives”. Nobody really needs a lot, we just need long-term stability.
When we say “the billionaires,” Americans think that means anyone who’s ever been on a TV show or maybe Steve from church who has a boat and a vacation home.
I think this stems from a misunderstanding of how much money a billion dollars is
As the current popular phrase goes, the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.
