Biden has an eight-figure fortune.

He'll be fine.

You won't, because you're not part of that club.

I wonder why the down votes... Do we really have this many corpo democrats to be hurt by this obviously true statement?

My guess is it's the tone/phrasing of the comment. They could've just said he has about 10 million bucks. Which imo is not an exorbitant amount of wealth to have accumulated for a (very...) senior citizen who has worked for >50 years in upper echelon functions.

The blanket statement about readers 'not being fine' because they don't have that kind of money also doesn't help.
