[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem here is the term "class" has as much to do with culture, connections, and family as it does it income. Most of the commenters here are really debating about levels of income or wealth (those terms are different but related) and not the broader term of class. However, even if using class as a proxy for wealth and income, there really needs to be a distinction between "wealthy" and truly upper class and all that comes with. [/quote] Who in the US would be upper class though? I can think of Chappy Morris. Who else?![/quote] There is no upper class in the US. None.[/quote] in the back of the Wolf Trap playbill [url]https://community.wolftrap.org/campaign/partners/donor-list[/url] there are multiple people--living individuals and couples--who donate $1M or more every year. That's to one arts non-profit. Pick a city, pick a museum/theater/university/hospital, you will see there are plenty of people with plenty of money to drop. At any vacation destination -- skiing, beach, mountains -- there are high end timeshare communities that cost $1M or more for a 13-week share [url]https://www.sprucepeak.com/pdf/spruce-peak-club-2024.pdf[/url]. People will have condos and cabins in multiple locations so they can go where they want, when they want--NYC, Vail, Diamond Head, etc. [/quote] But that doesn't mean they are upper class. They are just rich.[/quote]
