They may also be using the term manager very loosely. At my workplace most of the supervisors are union, but they have 1 top person at each department of each worksite who’s excluded from the union (not really management, but a company representative at least).

I guess I didn’t emphasize the end of my post enough, I completely agree.

The difference in lifestyle of someone with a net worth of $1000 or $1m could just be that one of them owns their own house and the other rents. Someone with $1b has absolutely nothing in common with either of the other two, they could probably spend 90% of their life savings and not have a noticeable change in their lifestyle. The guy with a million is still going to think about a couple thousand dollar purchase, and the guy with a thousand doesn’t really have a choice.

Millionaires seem pretty reasonable, its not surprising for someone who’s presumably had a decades long career to own a house and a bit of savings. If we’re being generous the difference between a billionaire and a millionaire is the same as the difference between a millionaire and someone living in the street, in reality the difference is about a billion dollars.
