The investment banker getting paid 200k per year in NYC is still closer to being homeless, than being a millionaire.
If you need to work to live, you are working class.
Some of the working class is underpaid and struggle daily, while some have more money and live fairly easy (until they lose their job). The capitalists owning the companies we work at have nothing in common with us, and they like when we hate each other, instead of them or the system.
And, unironically, those bankers are all raging capitalists— ever-chasing the end-of-rainbow-pot-of-gold mirage—who fly annually to a pretentious faux-hippy desert festival modelled on communism.
Very important message.

They are a millionaire though. It’s just that that means nothing anymore.
A million bucks is a million away from zero, but it’s 999 million away from a billion.
It’s like the old saying goes “a millionaire is still about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire” .
Hey, I too am about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire. I suppose that means I’m a millionaire! Woo hoo
Millionaires, thousandaires, and hundredaires are all about a billion dollars away from being billionaires.
And, unironically, those bankers are all raging capitalists— ever-chasing the end-of-rainbow-pot-of-gold mirage—who fly annually to a pretentious faux-hippy desert festival modelled on communism.
Or they suck at their jobs and just want a paycheck like everyone else.
If I could get paid 500k I’d go be a banker and suck at it.
He most likely is a millionaire. You presumably mean billionaire.
