Do peoples in Paris, France play sports?

Am I considered "Rich" (In America)?

  • I live in a 8,800 Square foot, custom built house. It overlooks the Cascade Mts. and the Columbia river. It has a full sized basketball court (Indoor), and a tennis court (outdoor). 3 car garage. It has a trampoline, a pool, hot tube, and garden. It is situated on 4.2 acres of Scrubland for our purebred German Shepherds, and two Schnauzers. The house also has 3 flatscreen televisions. A 90" in the living room, a 62" in my parent's bedroom, and a 42" in my media room. There is a massive downstairs library, with over 10,000 books (My mom and I LOVE reading), with a grand piano (I play). Most of the furniture in our house is quite new, and all the couches and stuff are leather. The dining room tables and chairs are custom cherry wood. Our kitchen has a subzero fridge/freezer, twin ovens, and a $300 toaster oven, and just as expensive microwave. The kitchen wood is cheery. Our silverwear and china is actually silverwear and china. My mom drives a 2012 Lincoln Navigator, and my dad drives a 2008 Platinum Edition Toyota Tundra. He would drive a, (direct quote) "Porsche 911 Turbo", but he needed the truck to pull our boat. We have a 23' Yamaha Twin Jet engine luxury boat. After upgrades, it could sell for about $65,000. I go to public school, as the only private school where we live is a religious one, and our entire family is atheist. (Please no religious hate) Otherwise I would go to a private one. I was home schooled for 5 years because I had trouble with social interactions. I wear designer clothes, i.e. Armani, Prada, Kenneth-Cole, Boss, Giorgio-Armani, Gucci, ect. ect. ect. For my fourteenth birthday, my parents bought me a 1998 Mercedes-Benz S600 with bulletproof windows, a v12, and 493 horsepower. I have a 2007 Macbook Pro, and a custom gaming computer, I built it myself, worth about $4,500. I have a Wii, and an Xbox 360 Slim with Kinect. My phone is the Droid X2, although I will get the X3 the day it comes out. I snowboard for fun, and play tennis competitively. We spend about $1,500 on sports for myself. I mostly get straight A's, with the occasional A- or B+. I'm in a 10th grade math class, and a 10th grade science class. (I'm in 8th grade) I have one sister, who is six, she was adopted from China. She, IMO is very, very spoiled. For her sixth birthday, we rented a limo, and she rented an entire theatre room at the local movie theatre. Her entire kindergarten class was invited, even people she didn't know. They ate at a local restaurant which has the cheapest lunch at $25. For Xmas received a set of diamond earrings, a diamond and white gold necklace, a 3DS, and over $700 worth of makeup. From my parents alone. She get's poor grades, and gets into a lot of trouble at school. She dances, and ice skates. My parents 'helped' her get into the advanced dance class. The school then got $10,000 worth of new lighting equipment. I have a personal media room, and a small bedroom (I sleep in it and that's it, so I opted for a small one) with a walk-in closet, and a personal bathroom. There is a balcony on the media room. My family is taking a vacation to Paris, France this summer. We went to Disney Land last year, and are planning to go to the Amazon jungle next year. We usually stay in a 5 or 4 star hotel, and we eat at $100 a meal restaurants. I am asking a sincere question, and want a sincere answer. Please don't answer if you haven't read the whole thing. Also, this is my first Yahoo! question, so no hate. I would give ten points for best answer, but I'm not sure how to do that. So, you MIGHT get ten points for best, you might not. Sorry if this is in the wrong category, as I said, first question.

  • Answer:

    depends who your ask... ask bill gates and you are trash regardless of all your crap, ask anyone who lives in shitty neighborhood, you'd be a rich asshole who doesnt share the wealth im my opinion, Riches are measured in happiness - face it brother, when you die, all the crap you own and all the rank you gain in the financial ladder dont mean squat if you dont have good quality people in your life working the job i do, I respond to 911 calls in very nice neighborhoods in Temecula, CA, La Cresta near the Ortegas and similar areas... god i cant get over how nice some places look but when the person living takes their own life because of depression, abuse, lonliness, stress... the big house is ultimately just a mask... stop wasting your time loathing in your luxury and find what being rich is truely about - love

Not sure for American but if in Singapore, you are consider Rich but all the accession belongs to your parents and not you! But sometimes it is hard to differentiate between rich and poor, you may be rich in your wealth but not rich in your wisdom, health or personality, cheers

I guess but where I live ur lower middle class Wtf "social probs"

Aren't there any poor neighbourhoods where you live so you can see how the other side live? The majority of people live pay check to pay check. Count how much your family spends a year and compare it to a minimum wage salary. There is no way a normal salary can pay for what you have. That way you can have an idea how rich you are. The answer is subjective but a 14 yr old with an S600 has to be rich. Make use of what opportunities you have to quickly get financially independent either through school or starting your own business because you don't know what the future holds. I know people who were born 100 times richer than you who lost it all in an instant.

No, you are not rich. Your parents may be- but then again, they may be nearly bankrupt for all we know. Wealth is determined by your net worth, not the stuff you have. You have to factor in your debt (mortgage, house payments, etc.). It is funny that you call your sister spoiled, because you sound spoiled yourself. Which, by the way, is an attitude- it is NOT based on what you have. You can have very little and still be spoiled and you can have a lot and still be humble. As for you, it sounds as if you are a braggart and you put importance on material possessions- likely part of why you have social issues. I homeschool my children and my oldest daughter and I are going to China this summer- both of which is part of what led me to this question, as my search for those topics returned this both times so I decided to open it up and read. Instead of going on a vacation, I would suggest you look into doing a service trip. Perhaps it will change your perspective. For the record, I own a lot of the same things you mention- not all. They do not make me wealthy, and they do not make worth any more or less than you or someone with less. They are just THINGS.
