Money isn't real. It's a social construct. Some people hate it, and live without it. Some people are traumatized by it. Some people want to burn it all. Some people love it, especially when they have a lot of it. It still has a lot of power, even though it's not real and hated.1/

That something is a construct does not implies it isn't real. Money is real because we made it so, and as long as we continue to do so.

Ok yes I obviously don't believe that money just isn't a thing, I was using 'real' in the sense that the power of money isn't a physical thing we can measure. It is obviously 'real' in the sense that it has effects we can measure.

the forbes 500 measures the power of money quite well.

Putting that aside, there are people with no money saying of themselves that "they are rich". They are not mistaken, they are just challenging what our society says is valuable, and reclaiming the definition of value for themselves.
