When it has been demonstrated over and over again, how little they think of anyone beneath them.

    I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with a few legitimate billionaires but mostly just millionaires

    Last one said Mamdani needs to be euthanized for wanting to tax him

    To be honest sounds like you don’t know them well enough

      Unless you come from wealth yourself, I sincerely doubt this. Unless you think working at a corporation owned by a billionaire counts or something.

        You underestimate the odds of encountering one in their own territory. There are only a few metropolitan areas in America where most wealthy people live and if you live/work long enough in one and get to know enough people you eventually have some chance encounters

      Millionaires and billionaires are utterly different cats. Wage earners become millionaires all the time – save, invest wisely, yadda. I know many people in that category.

        I know many people who’ve become millionaires and the vast majority are now apathetic collaborators who do not care about anything but their personal pleasure and permanent financial success

        Some are still regular people who just have money, a few even do good things, but the vast majority are not like us anymore
