If you live in or near a major city you’re going to be completely surrounded by thousands and possibly tens of thousands of people who have this level of wealth just walking around going to Starbucks and the gym.

Every slightly noteworthy person nowadays has at minimum, $50 million. Even obscure D list celebs have somewhere around this much. It’s insane and really puts into perspective how insignificant you are if you have $1-2M

As someone that actually knows people with that kind of wealth that aren't trust fund babies no they don't do that. They don't walk, they get chauffeured. They don't go to Starbucks themselves, they have it brought to them. And they certainly don't go to a gym you can afford. Their gyms are upwards of $2,000 a month.

>>60548601 (OP)
Because nobody talks about money. The wealth differences are still just as insane as they were in medieval times, we just all live together and wear similar clothes, drive similar cars, and avoid talking about it.
There are people with generational wealth in families where they teach the next generation how to use their money, how to invest, not to blow it all, but be able to continue to pass it down, etc.
Then there's the plebs. We think we're in the same boat as them, but we're not. We don't get inheritances, or if we do, they're small and we don't receive them until our parents pass away and we're old ourselves, so without opportunity to invest it or do anything with it. We're not taught much about money, we're fed the propaganda about self made people.
Kudos to people who actually are self made, but that's incredibly rare. The vast majority of wealthy people are wealthy because they're taught about money by their families, and there's a family fortune that's passed down, often parts of it when the child becomes an adult, so it actually does something for them.

>>60548730
Not everyone with $50M lives like that. Some do but plenty of wealthy folks partake in every day mundane activities. $50M while a lot is also not enough to live like an actual prince. My gym is only $150/mo for wife and I and we run into people with tens of millions on the regular

>>60548742
>plenty of wealthy folks partake in every day mundane activities
Those are the retards that are really talented at one thing but lose their money once they get older: think celebrities and sports players. They get off on being seen by normies. I promise you the smart wealthy people you will never ever see in public unless it's to go from their car to a building you have no access to.

>and we run into people with tens of millions on the regular
I'm gonna be real with you. There's an ocean of a difference between 10 million and over 50 million. The former you will be able to live comfortably but the latter is generational, fuck you money. For the latter, you must have fucked over tons of people to get there and you live your life as such.

I want to tell her were financially independent and I did this for us, but I have a feeling she's going to flip out and try to take half, or adjust our life style and start spending like mad. Eventhough I budget $15k she finds a way to burn it. Simulating $300k gross is more than enough for 2 happy households, yet not enough for her and her habits.

Your problem. betabucks.
Either use your money to dominate her or leave. Why hide it and all that?

>>60548913
Kek. While rich people do have their exclusive little clubs, they still rub shoulders plenty often with normies, but usually without announcing their wealth. Not every rich person is like you see in the movies, there are fucktons of people approaching centimillionaire status who you’d never even know if you randomly saw them in public.

>>60548601 (OP)
i remember matt gaetz bragging about having having 500k in his bank account and a "1:1 real estate asset to debt ratio" and thinking "damn this nigga aint that rich"

>>60548730
i have a lifetime athletic membership at 300/mo and its still full of basketball niggers

You didn't read the first paragraph how there are tons of retards with wealth right now that will lose it when they get older
Hell, your average 1% onlyfans girl probably has over $50 million. She'll still end up homeless in her 30s without a man.

>>60549230
See the above comment. Those people will end up homeless once their trust fund/rap music sales run out.

>>60548601 (OP)
house "rich" city retards are the perfect consoomerists. they spend all their money on dumb shit

>>60548963
Impossible that anyone with anything over 6 figures would be posting on this shithole.

Reality check, the median american has less net worth than a southern european and lives on debt.

You wouldn't think that browsing biz. Seems everyone here works from home making 200k year with a 7 figure portfolio by the age of 30.

Some. Most celebs are actually surprisingly broke, because they are financially illiterate and depend on other people who cost them a lot of money.

You would think Tupac was a 9-digt millionaire, yet the night he got shot his networth was less than $100k.

I am medium rich ($~6m) and am sometimes surprised how little celebs actually have. Even retired football players dont have money though they earned millions a year during their active time.

The entire sports and entertainment industry is designed around milking the people within it for as much money as humanly possible until they are no longer relevant and discarded. Many of the rappers and sports stars driving Ferrari's and living in mansions are heavily in debt and a few years after their contracts end will be working dead end jobs.

Why are you panicking over only $8m?

>>60548742
>$50M while a lot is also not enough to live like an actual prince
It most definitely is lol. Saudi prince, maybe not, but the prince of any nation with a figurehead monarchy? Absolutely.

Most of these people aren't "celebs." That betrays a lack of insight. These are upper tier professionals (doctors/lawyers/dentists etc), business owners, inheritors, public officials and admins. More of these people will be high income than high NW as you say, they buy these places and live paycheck to paycheck.

>>60548963
> if she leaves me
if you are even thinking "if" then she will 100% leave you

>bank statements
these are a thing and so you can only hide for so long.

- decide on a point in time when you are going to leave her; that's the go date
- 2 years from that point onwards is the exit date
- hide all the assets she doesnt know about before the go date. bank accounts are 100% discoverable so use your fucking brain here
- engineer an gambling addication from go date to exit date
- dont hide the addiction

at the exit date is when you engage the lawyers. they will go 2 years back by law through your bank statements to see your earnings

> where did the 2 years of eearnings go?
the gambling addiction was provable. visit a casino witht he your earnings every month. they will charge you a 10% fee to turn your wage to cash. it's an informal agreement. just take the earnings to a table and flush 10% into their pocjet. then exit with cash that you then take to a jewry store and buy gold bullion which you store in a locker that takes cash payments (pay for it 2 year sin advance)

Yeah but at least this one is somewhat interesting. The lazy b8 demoralization threads are the ones that are like, "I'm 28 and only have $3 mil in my bank account and 2 BTC. Is it over for me?" then they post a fake screenshot

>>60550585
Yeah so what I meant was posts like >>60548963. Extremely lazy b8

>>60548734
What you have to understand about wealth distribution is that it’s incredibly uneven all the way to the top. Yes, 1-2 mil puts you in the top 1%. But the top 0.1% has 20-50 mil. And the top 0.01% has billions.
As anon says, you are fundamentally still a serf. You might advance to a freeman, or even to landed gentry, but it is very unlikely that you will go beyond that. Even 50m nw richfags are only lesser nobility.

The 8 richest people are wealthier than the bottom 50% of humanity.

>>60548730
That’s not true at all lol. Even most billionaires don’t do that. Not cause they can’t afford it, but because it’s actually not that great. And anyone can have food delivered to them now. It’s called doordash.

And yes, richfags are everywhere. Every business you see has an owner. And they own or rent a building. And that building that was built on land that was bought by a developer. And that developer contracted out to a builder, who contracted out to subcontractors. Every business owner in that chain is likely worth millions. People really have no idea what kind of money is made in plain sight.

>>60550513
50 mil is beyond the earning capacity of any professional field. This is the realm of business owners and C suite executives. Maybe that business is a private practice clinic or a law firm, but again you only get that kind of money through business. Or, I guess, random strokes of luck like winning the lottery or becoming a celebrity.

>t. Knower of richfags

>>60550598
k but im retired at 30.

Those people still work and cannot retire.
