Rich people who do not want to be rich
The billionaire appears to be normal because he does not want us to think that he is the 2.0 version of the capitalist who smokes cigars with his feet on the table.
"In Brazil there are more than 20 million single mothers. Women who, without help, have to fight every day to support their families. I am one of them." This is how Shakira addressed an audience of two million people last May on Copacabana beach. The phrase drew attention for two omissions. The first is conceptual: her children have a father, with whom - with whatever arrangement - she shares parenting, which by definition excludes her from the category she claims.
The second, and even more surprising, is material: a net worth estimated at $300 million, which makes fighting every day more bearable. In the heat of the moment, it seemed like a good idea to Shakira to present herself as a normal woman who is struggling.
