In my experience, wealthy people will usually define wealth in such a way as to exclude themselves from being categorized as wealthy.
There is more than one definition of "wealth" and "poverty". You could be a senior Silicon Valley engineer making 200k a year and that would make you wealthy compared to some homeless person in Detroit, but you'd still be poor compared to a hedge fund manager in NYC making 500 million.
Well on a logarithmic scale, 200k is much closer to 500m than it is to 0.
On a logarithmic scale you don't get close to 0 no matter how hard you try. It's infinitely far away isn't it?
0.001 dollars is essentially 0, isn't it?
You are describing "rich", not "wealthy". Income is not nearly the same thing as wealth. Wealth converts to income at ~5-15%/yr. Yet income doesn't quite convert conversely, because living costs money every yeat.
