Don't we all dream of a better life, a life with no sacrifices, only freedom! This is not about megalomania and expensive sports cars, but what salary or net worth lets you live without worries? Many people ask themselves: who counts as wealthy? This question cannot be answered with a single number. Wealth is a word that everyone interprets in their own way. For most ordinary people, wealth simply means having money to live on, being able to go on vacation, enjoying leisure activities with the family and throwing nice barbecue parties with friends. To enjoy all of that, you do not need a million in the bank. Usually it is enough if one partner has a well-paid job. That could be what wealth means for the average middle-class family.

But who counts as truly wealthy?

But there is another kind of wealth. A wealth that means moving several thousand dollars in a single day and easily affording a life in the fast lane.

It is the rich businessman, the politician, the robotics engineer, the lottery winner, the chief physician (with a taste for cocaine), the virologist, these are the wealthy of today! For many, their career is their life, but at the latest in retirement they can ask and answer the question "who counts as wealthy?" They have piled up so much money and can really splurge.
