When ever Marxists tell me that these wealthy celebrities (actors, athletes etc.) are working class because they are selling their labour, I remind them that their obscene wealth means they own multiple properties (that they rent out, like Killer Mike and Dave Chapelle), businesses and investments.

My understanding of class is it's defined by your relationship to capital. A shareholder or landlord could do labour, but that doesn't make them working class
