Also she’s from the Bay Area, every house starts at a million. So just owning a home in the area she lived and worked in would make her a millionaire by default. It’s such a bad metric.

The funny thing is how quickly “millionaire” has become a meaningless term.

At this point, anyone with a house could come up with $1 million.
