> Certainly in Britain, class has almost nothing to do with your income or bank balance. That's fine and indicates you're using a more historical definition, but doesn't make the parent comment accurate. A decidedly lower-middle class individual can start a business and this will in no way suddenly push them into the upper class. If they make millions, they still won't be upper class by your definition unless maybe they do so well they somehow get a lordship or at least a knighthood out of it.
