The trick they pull on you guys is having you think someone with a pair of mass produced Nike sneakers is rich.
Crabs in a bucket.
Not really, the degree of flaunting just changes. People with a little bit of money have Nikes, people with a bit more have designer clothing, people with a lot more have lavish houses and yachts, and the people with the most have "foundations".
The real rich, the capital owners, are not the ones flaunting wealth for status...that's the upper class people with high-paying jobs; rich but not wealthy.
Well...what would you call Jeff's $500M yacht?
The 8th wonder of the world? Ha
Absolutely not true, the way they flaunt it is just different. Instead of clothes it's donations and foundations.
