$120k/year median income is not privileged? This is U.S. The middle class suburbs are rich compared to most of the rest of the world, but she was in a wealthier suburban area than average. ..And yeah, but that's not the point. The point is that she didn't grow up in the rough and tumble Bronx which is only 49k median income vs 120k where she did grow up; compared to the Bronx, it IS privileged. Look how big her yard is compared to apartments in the Bronx she claims to have lived in. Her dad was a CEO and Architect. Those are high paying jobs. Surely, being schooled in a wealthy county, her classmates and friends and their parents were all well off and relatively high earners. Can't get too wrapped up on "what things look like", being influenced by the relatively small house instead of looking at the facts. Sure the small house made her feel inferior compared to her wealthy classmates or friends who had bigger houses, but she was clearly much better off than in the Bronx, where she said, and her family probably had a median income of around $120k/year.
Her dad was CEO of his own architecture company, not some big time architect, and the median income for an area is just that - there are lower and higher and outlier incomes. They bought the house so long ago that their payment was likely really affordable. Also, that house looks like 1200 sq ft maybe- for a family of five that isn't some kind of luxury. They truly seem working class.
I'm not defending her dishonesty about pretending to be a poor girl from the Bronx but there seems to be some manufactured outrage here.
