Well...millionaires and billionaires aren't exactly the same group, are they?
An ordinary person, working diligently at a decent-paying job, can save up a million dollars if they're not unlucky.
Even a million-dollar-a-year salary is only 10x a fairly modest tech salary of 100k.
But a billion dollars a year is 1000 times that.
So...no, I don't know any billionaires personally either. I'm extrapolating from the things they say and do. But frankly, with the way the media is today, do you really think that more than a tiny fraction of it is trying to portray billionaires as worse than they are? Given how much of it is actually controlled by them, and bears the clear marks of their editorial hand?
