But, when its an indefinite source of 100k for essentially life that it covers the monthly cost of mortgage which ends up steadier than the unpredictability of rent I think that is super rich in my eyes.

Because the big thing is the continued 100k isn't unpredictable like the uncertainty of the job market, which can get worse as people get older with companies looking to lay them off for the next generation who will take less and new skills.

So it might not seem the stereotypical super rich of private jets and mansion, but once you look at the stability of the money source it is deceptively super rich. Like the millionaire next door type rich, and the type of rich that would take the average person decades and decades of saving and investments turning out well to attain and be super old by then.

I don't even know what your point is. Sure, almost everyone in the world would be set for life with 4m. It's still only enough to provide means for a very modest life with dividends in cities like Boston, LA, NYC...

We usually successful performers burn through their monies quick because with no need to work, you can blow cash REAL quick. Few are so disciplined as to live on something like 4m forever if they weren't brought up with wealth and the understanding to live frugally.
