I’m quite convinced that everyone with nine digits of wealth to their name is in there. Probably a lot of people with eight and seven.
The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion. Millionaires are not our enemies and many are a few months away from losing much of their wealth if they were to lose their career.
Edit: I can’t count in my head apparently. I’m a moron
Millionaires think they're as good as billionaires, even if the billionaires look down on them, and they act accordingly, and will take the side of the billionaires EVERY time, so Yes, millionaires are still the enemy.
It really depends on the person, and how that wealth is calculated. Property is so overvalued that a good share of homeowners are millionaires even without much income, so it throws off the accounting. But I agree most people making a couple hundred thousand a year are likely to identify with selfish interests and side with the billionaires.
Not all even if perhaps most.
