Why keep harping on his net worth?
Because he is a criminal
40K an hour is probably the yearly salary of the bottom 50 percent of Americans. what a hyprocrite
As a self-proclaimed leftist Democrat who editorializes a lot with his columns, I am surprised that he makes and has so much money; he ought to give more away as he decries those on the Right for making much and not sharing. Some of his columns are more than one-sided. A recent one railed against the Right for their ‘intrusion into legislation and more than less government as they used to be known for”. Hypocritical because it is the Left that belabors all of us with endless rules and regs and legislation to force their PC agenda on all of us and they have big Tech and others to support them and limit conservative voices. He is far, far Left. 🙁 Give it away, Robert
I love Robert Reich. I’m surprised he’s only worth 4 million considering his age, all the books he has written, his political and teaching jobs, and his speaking engagements. I bet he has so little because he is really generous and probably doesn’t have a lavish lifestyle. That’s not really much in comparison with billionaires who have become fatcats off of the work of poor American workers. He seems to work very hard and it’s paid off.
You are a SHEEP. Get out and work to earn what you have. Baa, baa, baa.
黄金以后可能主要是央行储备和民间饰品，白银可能主要是民间饰品和线下中额世界通行货币，世界没有必要个人大量储备黄金和白银。我在中国的金银在内贵金属饰品实物已有，包括一条刻有成皓Victor Cheng的挂坠和一个牛生肖男士戒指，不再购买饰品。非常感谢礼品。
只是我的固定薪酬可能计算有误，每月2千美元如是税前，只能说明现在美金或美元的实际购买力大幅上升，相当于以前美元的十倍购买力，可能是扣除自愿的教会在内基金会捐赠及美国社保后的生活费。以后公司年会的抽奖小礼品可以赠送不低于1000美元的无门槛现金消费红包或ETH数字加密货币。
我比较节俭，不刻意追求奢华，但也有一些奢侈品。
