#money
Anabelle came back from six weeks in France and posted a carousel about what wealth actually looks like. It hit 2 million views — and the comments split down the middle.
So the two of us sat down to argue it out properly.
Chuang grew up around Penang old money: families in mansions that look small from the street, patriarchs who make their son-in-law sell the sports car because being seen is dangerous. Five years ago he started selling things off. He drives a 2003 Toyota with 340,000km on it and wears RM9 Decathlon t-shirts. His stated ambition is to be the uncle at the kopitiam at 10 in the morning.
Anabelle built a company from her kitchen to 350 employees. She’s tried to minimise three times. She still can’t get through the drawer.
We don’t land in the same place, and that’s the episode.
In this one:
— Why old money hides and new money displays
— The line between rich and wealthy (and why family offices draw it at USD 100 million)
— The friend earning RM8 million a year who calls himself a highly paid dog
— Nine bedrooms, ten car spaces, and a family that lives entirely in the kitchen
— What Malaysia gives you that you’ve stopped noticing
— Why chasing a retirement number is the wrong game
