    Their whole net worth put together equates to one whole super yacht.

    "They’re not rich, they’re only worth like $15 million dollars! "

    Perhaps not the strongest argument…

      There’s ‘I can buy anything I want money,’ and there’s ‘I can warp the culture with media, pay lobbyists to warp policy to my holding’s interests against the public’s, and buy politician’s allegiance’ money.

      And yeah, their 20 and 5 million respective net worths put them firmly in column A, and lets be honest, barely that these days to be considered rich. 5 million doesn’t buy much at all in places where actually rich people congregate, you aren’t even getting mid tier real estate in wealth class hives like Manhattan, Malibu, or San Francisco. It’s even on the high end of conceivable to have earned such sums rather than having been aquired through exploitation and or speculative investment aka gambling, although not in their cases.
