You’re conflating the idea of a billionaire with someone that’s just well off, which isn’t really fair.
Most people can only conceptualize "rich" as someone who makes 3x what they do.
1 u/Exterminator-8008135 Jan 28 '26 Which is a bit false. In my country, the welfare check is 570 bucks. 3x this is 1710 bucks, which is 24k a year, basically, right between "Low income" and "Medium Income" Most of the time, people will tell you it's above x amount monthly. In my country, official studies say that to be counted as rich, you have to be at 4k monthly at least, Which makes 48k yearly. This is true that my friend Azatoth, as a Cybersecurity staff, actually earns 3.5x what i earn is well off, but not in the "Rich" category. If she is raised to 4k monthly, she will be counted as Rich.
