Most rich people consider themselves just, comfortable. My favorite dialogue from the movie, Crazy Rich Asians:<\/p>\n

Rachel Chu: \u201cSo your family is, like, rich?\u201d<\/em>
\nNick Young: \u201cWe\u2019re comfortable.\u201d<\/em>
\nRachel Chu: \u201cThat is exactly what a super-rich person would say.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s Rich<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is just
\nMoney
\nThe rich proffer
\nEffacing oblivion
\nI am just
\nComfortable
\nThe rich prey
\nWhat does it
\nProfit amen
\nTo game the whirled
\nAnd loose your sole
\nTravailing the globe
\nTill kingdom come<\/p>\n

The only specific behavior of the rich that this poem alludes to is travelling around the globe, presumably made possible by jet-setting. I suspect that flying on a plane countless times is a good proxy for being rich. Flying by plane is increasing worldwide; but, most of this is a small portion of people who fly many, many times. Estimates are that 80-90% of people in the world have never flown in a plane<\/a>. If you cannot guess how many times you have flown, say within ten times, with the confidence that you would bet someone else’s life on, then you are rich. If you would bet someone else’s life on it, then you are rich as well, oil well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
