Cate Blanchett’s claim to be ‘middle class’ isn’t unique among the wealthy, or even the 1% she’s part of. Downplaying privilege among elites contributes to the problem of wealth inequality.
Compared to the circles she moves in, yeah she’s middle class. When you hobnob with the richest people on earth and you’re only personally worth a couple-hundred million dollars, I can see how you’d think of yourself as middle class.
I also think of myself as middle class. Just not quite as middle class as she is. 😁

Perspective is funny, huh?
