Anyone here of American Royalty?

Question

You know:

Landowner, Business owner, not in debt to anyone.

The top national examples are Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Bill Gates.

Answer 1

I'm a Royal pain and I don't owe anybody but I don't guess that is the answer you are looking for.

Answer 2

Sorry I have to agree with JT. There is no American royalty, only deference given to rich money barons. Perhaps if you look up the meaning of royalty, that may help

Answer 3

There is no such thing as American Royalty.

Answer 4

I would have to be considered "lesser royalty".  I own my own home.  Don't owe more money than I can pay, (though I do carry a little debt, plus the mortgage, but it's MINE), and I also own my own business, so I control my own destiny, at least more than most slaves to industry do.  I just don't own enough to be charging others for their lives, nor do I have enough money to consider myself the top of the ladder, by any stretch, but I would have to call myself successful.

Still, you can't call most of us in the US any sort of royalty, as such things are, truly, inherited for many generations, and have to do with ruling countries, etc.

Answer 5

I do not qualify to be American Royalty and I think very few do.  Many Americans are so mired in debt that it will be difficult or impossible for them to gain financial security.  I am fortunate that we have been able to educate our children without loans and they will go out into the world debt free and already have money in the bank.....hey wait maybe that does make me "royal"

best of luck to you!
