Does Every Multimillionaire / Billionaire Lose Touch With Reality?

[WJK]

Would be good to know, because I don't see evidence of their actions...

There's a lot more power behind the chair than in the chair. Most real power and good deeds are done quietly behind the scenes. It's not Oprah giving away a car on TV to everyone cheering. You don't have to be uber-rich to do those acts of kindness. Many times it costs very little or nothing to lend a hand. It does take YOU having the heart to notice others in need. It's a personal stance of consistently paying forward and giving back as you move through your life's journey.

Who said they were rich?

Good point!

Is "wealthy" conveying the meaning?
We should have a way to call people that have a lot of money, yet are miserable.

If losing touch with reality is the price of being a multi-millionaire I am sure that I want to pay this price. XD

Also I get a lot of “scriptedness” from this question.

Does “reality” mean being poor?

is being a millionaire actually rich??

There are several millionaires in my family and pretty much all of them still have jobs - that they need. Lol

The other ones own businesses, but still are employed as CEO etc of their small biz.

One family member (not related by blood) is an exception and pretty much does whatever he wants, takes occasional CEO roles in different companies but gets fired and quits and moves to another one. That guy is the exception because he went through Harvard and got in with Bain and stuff. I know very little else about him because he doesn’t talk to our side much!

You could of course sell a company for $20 million+ and that puts you in a different league than someone with say, $1-3 million net worth (that’s still upper middle class, unless you achieve it at a young age)

Being a millionaire these days doesn't mean rich -- it just means financially independent.
