    Exactly. Millionaires aren’t the problem. That’s why I can’t stand these thought-terminating clichés like “eat the rich.”

    Someone with even several hundred million to their name is dirt poor compared to billionaires.

      Millionaires aren’t rich, they’re “well off”. (Or maybe not even, it’s possible to have 1M+ in assets and be struggling financially)

      Being rich is a completely different lifestyle. Like you never even think about money, and get people to do your grocery shopping and stuff. Megayachts and private jets, etc.

        Well, I guess that depends on how one defines “rich.” To me, it means someone whose passive income exceeds their spending. What you’re describing, I’d call “wealthy - which is one or two steps above that.
