We have plenty of money, live a great life with two homes, fly business, etc. and I can't imagine anyone being so out of touch that they don't realize that $25 million is objectively rich. Wow.[/quote]

I disagree, sort of. Our net worth is about $20MM. We are extremely comfortable and want for nothing but I’m still careful with our money. My cousin is what I call rich. His net worth is low 9 figures. We fly business class, he owns a jet. We have a Mercedes, he has 3 plus a Rolls. See where this is going? There’s comfortable and then there’s rich. And, also, a PP said to expect to sign a prenup. That’s a definite in a rich family. Not so much in a comfortable family. [/quote]

More like there is “rich” and then “ultra rich”.[/quote]

My son is getting married in 2 weeks.  We're at $30M (from DH's career), we did ask my future DIL to sign a prenup and made clear our expectations.  [b]Mainly I want my son and grandkids to be within an hours drive of us and to see them a few times a month.[/b]  I don't think that is too much to ask in exchange for the financial help that they will need in the DMV to setup their own lives.[/quote]

Sounds controlling, but she agreed to it.

I would think that a child raised in a $30M NW family would’ve already gotten the education, networking & professional training necessary to “set up their own life in the DMV” by the time they’re engaged to someone.[/quote]

I'm assuming she's helping them buy the $2.5M McMansions in North Arlington and Mclean.  Hard to do that in mid 30s without parental help.
