What the hell is rich anyways?

[dimasok]

I found these definitions in the book.

Wealth measured by Cash-In-Hand or Quickly Realizable Assets
$100,000-$400,000 - the comfortable poor
$400,000-$1,000,000 - the comfortably off
$1,000,000-$2 million - the comfortably wealthy
$2 million-$10 million - the lesser rich
$10 million-$30 million - the comfortably rich
$30 million-$70 million - the rich
$70 million-$100 million - the seriously rich
$100 million-$200 million - the truly rich
Over $200 million - the filthy rich and the super rich

Wealth measured by total assets (true net worth)
$2 million-$4 million - the comfortable poor
$4 million-$10 million - the comfortably off
$10 million-$30 million - the comfortably wealthy
$30 million-$80 million - the lesser rich
$80 million-$150 million - the comfortably rich
$150 million-$200 million - the rich
$200 million-$400 million - the seriously rich
$400 million-$800 million - the truly rich
$800 million-$1,998 million - the filthy rich
Over $1,998 million - the super rich

I'm not sure why people are so concerned with defining rich.

I hope our nanny and neighbors don't figure out we are uncomfortable poors. How embarrassing!

There figures are in U.S. dollars. The sarcasm was unwarranted.

Rich is spending 11K on a sofa or taking a helicopter to work to avoid a 2 our commute by car.

Because its fun counting huge numbers and seeing how far you can go in terms of personal wealth? To me it is.

Just because you like defining wealth in terms of measly hundreds of thousands or single digit-millions doesn't mean everything has to be published in reference to those numbers.

And what value would you put on the wealth needed for that?
