Paris is worth millions because her father owns hotels around the world. If not for her rich daddy, I would say Paris might just be a great candidate for a bag lady in light of her work ethic.
I know some elementary teachers who banded together and have a nice portfolio of rental properties collectively. I would say they are worth a little more than 40 grand.
Some folks have a hard time wrapping their minds around worth. You can go out and buy a 40 grand car and drive it around the block and it might bring you 31,000 if your lucky.
You could buy real estate in Florida for seven figures a few years back and be lucky to get half of that now.
I'm sure there are professional athletes who where used to making millions in the past who now might make half a teachers salary out there.
Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them plain and simple.
None of this has anything to do with my question, which was in response to your assertion "The top 1% is worth every penny where the 20,000 dollar guy is lucky to even have a job.". The top 1% is not worth every penny where the $20,000 guy is lucky to even have a job.
