Grandma, living in the same house she’s lived in since 1972, collecting a fixed income pension cheque once a month, is not what I’d describe as a “rich person.”

Look instead to the people who own golf courses, sports stadiums, super yachts, private jets and the like.

Everyone knows all property is owned by grandma.

Yeah I have to agree- all that increase in value doesn’t mean anything unless she sells it, which she won’t do until she dies anyway.
