This seems really cynical. Did you mean it that way?

This is a common trope around "poor people are poor because they aren't capable of being rich". If the rich can make the poor believe wealth inequality is natural and fair then lots of things go more smoothly.

No, but it would be great if large sums of money came with financial literacy courses to save a lot of pain and suffering later down the road.

The number of people who live paycheck to paycheck and make $500k a year is insane.

Does it matter? It's their money, and they have needs and wants.

The difference with multi-millionaires and billionaires is that they can cover they wants and even mere whims, and the whole system gives them opportunities to keep and multiply their money.
