How rich? How should the empathy be shown? Is it a sliding scale where the lines meet in the middle somewhere?
If you own a Bentley, you're either very rich, or just spent all your money on a Bentley
Edit: I've been told some people needed clarification that I'm not talking about Bentleys worth their weight in scrap metal.
Wrong.
You can buy Bentley's for a couple of thousand and if you're a car guy can maintain them pretty ok. I've got a friend with one and I can assure you he's not in the slightest bit considered "rich"
I would assume a Bentley for a couple thousand is not a new Bentley from the company and would not count towards VWs sales.
What's that got to do with the brash statement that I was replying to?

Because they knew I was talking about new Bentleys, not 20 year old ones that are worth no more than their metal scraps worth.
It's a variable scale of age, how does anyone agree on the exact year it goes from being "new Bentley" to "metal scraps"?
2, 5, 10 years? You're better off clarifying new Bentleys in the original comment
Good question. I haven't got an answer for that. We could start off by pruning off the top; anyone with a net worth above a billion can't possibly have earned that kind of money. 900 million is just as unlikely.
A modicum of luck obviously plays a part as well; Facebook for example started off as a fairly innocuous website for ranking the attractiveness of university students; poor in taste and judgement but hardly evil. That's not exactly where we are today, is it? Have you read about how facebook treats its content moderation team? Ol' Zucky is responsible for that and so much more.
There's only so much you can earn through hard work and good luck before you'll start having to make unethical and evil choices to keep raking in the cash. Rich people don't need or deserve any empathy, because they won't have any for you.
If you can accurately state how much you're worth .... chances are you're not that rich
Hey, you're right! I'm worth -$248,657.36 (yes, that's a negative sign). Am not rich at all.
Lol you think people on the internet work with relative variables scales.it's always extremist far reaching opposites and it's always a binary choice from each end of the scale.
