[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous, they definitely go to private schools here. The super rich I know go to St. Albans, Landon, NCS, Sidwell, and boarding schools. [/quote]

Agree with this.  My kids are at STA and NCS and I have been to many homes that are worth more than $4 million and countless worth over $2.5.
Most of this money is self-made by highly educated, smart people. Smart people generally (not always of course) have smart kids. 
I get the relfex to say "oh, they're all a bunch of trust fund idiots" but no--I find that at these schools they're usually a pair of Harvard law grads with undergrad degrees in math and history from Stanford. [/quote]

The conclusion from this thread is that some wealthy people send kids to STA/NCS, others send their kids to minor private schools, some send theirs to public schools.

FYI I wouldn't necessarily place $4M houses in the category of the superwealthy. That's law firm partner bracket.

$10+M house and now you're talking. That's successful founder of a tech company that sold out to Amazon. [/quote]

The few ultra rich we know send their kids to the smaller private schools that seem more nurturing. I don’t know where they will go for high school.

Over the years, I have met children of rich families who are not impressive at all in any category. They are adult children who depend on their parents. I think it is a bit sad actually when they rely on grandparents for tuition, home and they basically have an allowance from their trust fund.[/quote]

I'd love to be sad in that kind of way. I'd trade being melancholy on a beach in the south pacific for my commute in a heartbeat  [/quote]

The people I’m thinking of are not THAT rich. They have a grandparent who did well and wealth being spread thin between many grandchildren. The grandchildren are the ones who didn’t do so well in life.[/quote]
