Do you know any ultra wealthy students or families at UIUC?

According to a quick Google search, there are around 24.5 millions millionaires, 1.5 millions households worth ten million dollars, 90,000 people with net worths of over fifty million dollars, and 800 billionaires in the United States.

That means that about 1 in 14 people are millionaires, 1 in 85 households are worth ten million dollars, 1 in 3,721 people are worth over fifty million dollars, and 1 in 41,823 people are billionaires.

Because we’re at a pretty solid school in Illinois that has a big international population, I’m sure that most of those ratios are probably a good bit less severe.

I know a few people outside of this school who are very well off and I’ve met a few students here that are also wealthy, but I don’t think I know anyone here that I’m sure is worth a ridiculous amount of money (I understand that this is subjective measure, but still).

Do you know anyone at this school who is very wealthy or comes from extreme wealth at this school? Obviously, don’t say names (unless they’re pretty famous or something, idk).

I’m sure there are some folks walking around whose family is worth fifty million, I just don’t think I’ve ever knowingly crossed paths with them. I’m also sure that there are students who are very wealthy but don’t know or realize just how wealthy they are relative to the average student or American.

If you do know someone, how do you know they’re ultra wealthy? Did you get explicit confirmation or did you figure it out over time?

This question is entirely out of curiosity and not meant to be a commentary on wealthy or poor students, international students, generational wealth, or anything else. I’m just wondering.
