> I would imagine you have rather more cultural capital than your average "millionaire".
I suspect so, too which is why the comment struck a strange chord. The old-school "millionaires" who are supposed to carry that cultural capital belong with the Cheeryble brothers of Dickens, a largely fictional artifact. But there I go again.
The media depiction is an interesting one, and not something I have considered deeply. I guess it's an easy plot device.
