When I speak of wealthy people, you must understand there are categories of wealthy people.  These categories can and will vary as there are not as many people in the higher categories:

40  Billion and above

20-39 Billion

10-19 Billion

1-9 Billion

750 Million to 999 Million

500 Million to 749 Million

250 Million to 499 Million

100 Million to 149 Million

50 Million to 99 Million

25 Million to 49 Million

10 Million to 24 Million

5 Million to 9 Million

For the most part, anything under 5 million is not really considered wealthy anymore. And soon this bottom rung will be 24 million.

Members in each financial level LOOK DOWN on everyone below them.  It is not necessarily that they want to but certain financial protocols dictates that they must display this behavior.  Only associate with those that are in you some financial bracket.

This started in the military because OFFICERS will not allowed to associate with ENLISTED when not at work.  Any officer caught doing this would have they personnel jacket flagged and would not receive timely promotions.

It should be painfully obvious by now that as one gets wealthier, one loses more of their morals and more of their integrity as the unwritten rules of wealth begin to kick in.

We can thank IBM for this philosophy.  As their young executives were promoted, they were told they must start driving more expensive cars, wear more expensive clothes, live in more expensive houses that were located in more exclusive communities.  Using this philosophy, management would always have their executives in debt making it more difficult for them to go to another company.

Since I am not part of the wealthy class, I am not sure how they view wealthy musicians, artists, actors, singers, and professional athletes because physical ability should not be confused with the mental ability to make money.  However, once you are in a certain financial level, you get the respect that is due that level regardless of how you got there.

THIS APPLIES TO DRUG DEALERS AS WELL...
