    Is it talking about him like he’s a saint to acknowledge that he actually did build a real estate empire from middle-class origins?

    Maybe that is something of a sainthood to some Americans.

      Yeah, it’s Worthington’s Law in action. I cannot reference this enough, because this is actually how many people think. I cannot believe how many conversations about Elon/Donnie/Bezos/Gates, etc all ended with the equivalent of “yeah, but he makes more money than YOU!” (which I nearly always sound not very distant from “My dad can beat up YOUR dad!”. It’s pathetic.

        Also, millions of people make more money than me. The real question is are they happier or more content than me?
