The Two types of people on Earth
The Middle Class: People whose definition of wealth is almost limited to having a good car and a nice house as their “asset”.
The Lower Class: People with talent whose money almost all the time flows out of their expenses. This is me.
Let’s analyze world through my lower class eyes and I think being a member of Royal Family is being rich because of the clever tactics they use to hide their poor condition while they are compensated with the Sovereign Grant because they’re royal, after all? Half of their annual income goes to financing their travels. For a person like me without good moral judgement and conscience finds this as better than building companies. My class instructs me to hate the upper class. I envy the people who make things happen. I envy people like Richard Branson and Elon Musk from my limited point of view. Both emerged as billionaires because they set out to change the world. He created SpaceX and me? meh a wanna-be human being.
Virgin Train allows people of my class to travel with ease. My world is dark and filled with Hate. Thanks to my voting choices, I complain of having zero opportunities. This continues on and on.
According to CNNMoney, Lady Diana owns private property and investments as well as her major income comes from the Duchy of Lancaster estate. But where does all this money goes? to renovate Buckingham Palace? The Rich don’t do that. Then there is Prince Charles whose half of annual income goes to finance his travels. That doesn’t make them “Rich”. Here is a very interesting answer by Sallie Smythe on Quora
Here is the Question: http://qr.ae/TUTOII
The Royal is “royal” because of the monarchy. Dumb luck. I don’t think the rich would be proud of The Royal Family. In fact the word “Royal” itself hides the financial distress Royal Family is facing. Their expensive clothes and private properties hide their financial status which I believe, personally, is middle class.
The Real Heroes, the real prince and the real princess
Today, the people who rule are tech nerds. They take a big share of a very “small” or ignorant market. Like the Airbnb used technology to disrupt the old, bureaucratic hotel industry. Today if you’re John McAfee, you’ve got a future. Although Mark Zuckerberg is not mutually exclusive, arguably facebook controls lives of 3 billion people. Not a small number. But thanks to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley I can see a bright future. Where me and my friends thrive.
