You’re thinking Bezos yachts, these are $50-200$k boats people use as homes to see the world, not rich people. The word yacht doesn’t mean wealth, it’s just not a common mode of transportation.
It was a $128,000 yacht. If you don’t think people who can afford such a yacht are rich, you are one privileged person.
You’d be surprised how many people own a $128,000 yacht INSTEAD of a more-than-$128,000 house.
(Of course, there are even more people who live aboard full-time on much-less-than-$128,000 yachts. For example, Sailing Uma probably have a bunch of money now 'cause they’re relatively successful Youtubers, but they started out spending only about $10k total (purchase + initial refit costs) for their 50-year-old, 36-foot boat. There’s an entire subculture of people doing basically nautical #vanlife, and they aren’t any richer than the homeless-by-conventional-standards people doing it on land.)
I’ve met them, they fucked up someone else’s boat in the marina I was at, they didn’t offer to fix or help pay, they just bailed. They definitely fit into the asshole category, in my opinion.
Nah, I’m cool with them having the yachts

Yes, yes it does. It doesn’t mean ‘billionaire,’ but these aren’t subsistence fishermen we’re talking about here.

You’re literally attacking middle class people for having a small yacht.
Your concept of wealthy is really skewed.
“Middle class” and “small yacht.” Most middle class people can’t even afford a house. This is something that costs more than a luxury car.
Yea no one in the middle class can afford a house, a couple of cars and a small yacht.
It’s impossible without having billions in the bank!
Sorry, you think anyone under a billionaire is middle class?
I think there’s enough room in middle class for someone to own a small yacht.
You seem to think middle class means poverty and near homelessness.
I think there’s not enough room in “middle class” to buy a home and a yacht that costs more than a luxury car.
There’s a reason they’re called luxury cars. They’re for the rich.
