Easy! I know the answer to that one. All who do not have to work to come by. To me that means in most western nations the threshold is somewhere between 1 and 10 million USD in net worth.
When you have that much money your money makes money for you! You own some houses/land you rent out, or own (part of) some business that yield profits. Maybe you work, but it is by choice, not by necessity.
- hutzlibu 10y agoThats a better definition. But still vague, as "not having to work" to have enough money is relative, as the standard becomes higher. And even with 900000$ you can pretty much live like a king in a 3. world country for a long time.
- cies 10y agoYes. Agreed, therefore my "to me that means" and "in western nations". And this is something that --in a democracy-- we can vote on: higher or lower capitalist-threshold? :) While the exact threshold is up for debate, I think it is an otherwise easy to distinguish class difference.
