  • I don’t get it. In what way does being in the top 1% of earners not make you rich, because there’s a younger person at work who has been gifted an entire property? Lol.

    You can skip around the issue all you want, but it’s pretty hard to spin being a top 1% earner into not being rich. It’s not that deep. If there’s a scale that goes from 0-100 and you’re on 99, it takes some serious gymnastics to not see how you fit into the pecking order.

    Also I feel it’s worth pointing out that this ain’t a dig in any way, but just a nudge towards people being a bit more realistic about their relative situation.

  • He does say in the same comment that he considers himself rich though. Just there are a whole lot of richerer folk.

    As I say, 99 on a 1-100 scale. Yes that final 1% has an almost impossibly steep curve, but just because you’re not bezos doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have an entirely reasonable bit of perspective on where you’re at.
