My friend and business partner, Kevin Kelly (we publish the Recomendo newsletter), says, "I occasionally get to hang around people with real wealth, and those on their way to real wealth. I've notice there is a rising scale of how wealth is experienced. As your income gains more zeros, you ascend through this scale."
Levels of Wealth
Class 1 – You no longer pay attention to the price of groceries
Class 2 – You no longer pay attention to the price of meals at a restaurant
Class 3 – You always fly business class
Class 4 – You use three or more homes
Class 5 – You have a personal chef and other full time help
Class 6 – You bring your friends on vacation and pay for everything
Class 7 — You fly charter jets
Class 8 – You own your own jet
Class 9 – You feel everything is free
And now that global elite families are 42% richer than they were last year, maybe it's time for Class 10: You control vital resources, the media, and government officials, influencing global markets and national policies to safeguard your interests.
