They’ll obviously die of poverty the first week. Anyone else want to suffer this badly? /s

Massively more money than most of the country? Asking news outlets how to survive?

I don’t think people with that kind of wealth are the enemy, honestly. A million dollars ain’t shit anymore

And if they’re asking how to survive, you cropped that part out of the screenshot

You thought they were bragging about their money then? Seriously.

I think you took a screenshot without the relevant detail you want me to get mad about…

You thought the body was obvious from the truncated headline? Seriously.

The partial headline certainly does suggest they are bragging about their wealth. The “only” is on their debt (Mortgage). If it were about not having enough your would imagine it would be written as “and I STILL owe xxx on my house” and “only have xx in savings”
