      There is an article i read where someone who claims to know him well and went with him to vietnam said that he told them he had $6,000,000 from his family but that his family relationship was a sore spot/contentious.

      Either way the will says he wont receive a trust if he is convicted of a violent crime so he abandoned his wealth to make a stand if he is indeed the one who made the claim adjustment for brian thompson.

      He volunteered at his families nursing homes when he was growing up. So its likely the fact that his family was enriching themselves through insurance providers and providing sub adequate care to seniors that made him contemptuous of his family’s fortune. Tiffany cianci on youtube did a deep dive on his family’s business(es) before anyone else had any deets.

      There’s hardly a middle class anymore. The massive number of people just struggling to get by often mistake the relative financial security of the middle class for wealth. Its the ceo’s and billionaires who have, slowly over time, shaved this prosperity away from the middle class and kept the value for themselves.
