Cate Blanchett Confuses Fans After Claiming She’s “Middle Class” Even Though Her Net Worth Is $90 Million
Cate Blanchett has been a Hollywood star for years now and has built up an impressive $95 million net worth. She’s clearly set for life and is doing just fine for herself.
But while participating in a United Nations press conference, the ‘Ocean’s 8‘ star referred to herself as middle class. She made the shocking claim after being asked about her experience as a goodwill ambassador and giving refugee filmmakers a platform.
I’m white, I’m privileged, I’m middle class, and I think, you know, one can be accused of having a bit of a white savior complex, but to be perfectly honest, my interaction with the refugees in the field and also in resettled environments has totally changed my perspective on the world. I’ve met some extraordinary people with extraordinary creative talents and amazing perspective
Middle class? What in the world is she talking about? It seems like extremely wealthy people always refer to themselves as middle class, even if they have millions of dollars. It’s like they don’t want to be associated with the super wealthy.
Several fans commented on the clip. One user wrote, “I love Cate Blanchett, but in what world is she ‘middle class’ she’s been in two major franchises and is worth an estimated 90 million.”
Another person wrote, “Under no circumstances is a net worth of $95 million middle class!!!”
So what is middle class? Well, according to the latest statistics, if you have an income between $50,000 and $150,000, although, that number changes based on the state you live in. For example, in California, the range is between $60,000 and $180,000.
But still, you won’t find any middle class range going up to $90 million. Cate, you’re rich as f**k! Stop trying to be relatable… you aren’t!
