[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really understanding the definition of "truly affluent".

If you look at where the children of the Top 100 richest American families attend, it is certainly clustered in Top 20 colleges.  More so among the families where the person actually was the one to get themselves into the Top 100 (think Bill Gates or Stephen Schwartzman from Blackstone) vs. people in this group that inherited the wealth (think of the Waltons from Wal Mart).

I guess I just don't understand the premise.

I think she just means families with net worth in high millions (100+) as opposed to only 10M or so as we see often here.
There are more families like that than just the household names that you mentioned [/quote]

Maybe, except I doubt sports hosts fall into the $100MM+ category.  Maybe OP means HNW professional athletes?  Their children tend to also be great athletes as well, so of course makes sense they are attending an SEC powerhouse or equivalent...but they are not blase about that...just their Top 20 would be based on the sport vs. USNews Top 20 academic rankings.[/quote]
