That’s what any rich and entitled person would say.
A former boss of mine who owned his (very large and expensive) house plus three other houses that he rented out, plus 51% stakes in two companies which were both worth at least €10mio each also claimed that he’s “upper middle class” and that the things he feels entitled to are just what regular middle class people are entitled to.
There’s literally research on this topic that clearly says that most people count themselves as middle-class, no matter if they are part of the top 0.1% or of the bottom 10%.
Even among millionaires, only 8% would characterize themselves as wealthy these days.
Roughly 60% of investors with $1 million or more of investable assets said they are more likely upper middle class, according to a recent Ameriprise Financial survey of more than 3,000 adults.
Of those making more than $175,000 a year, or roughly the top 10% of tax filers, one-quarter said they were either “very poor,” “poor” or “getting by but things are tight.”
Even a share of those making more than $500,000 and $1,000,000 said the same.
As someone who drives a Mercedes I’m neither rich nor entitled.
Edit: Who downvotes this lol.

I like to life by the following rule:
Anybody that says all X are Y, then that persons probably biased or an idiot.
… you do understand that your rule includes anyone who lives by that rule?
You just called yourself a biased idiot.

This is not made up.
