I'm sorry but Williams has made over US$40 million in just career winnings, not counting anything she might have gained from endorsements, sponsorships, and investments. That's not upper middle class at best.

    Nomenclature of upper middle class aside, the wild thing here is that $40m means she’s closer to being homeless than she is to the billionaire wealthy.

    She’s clearly wealthy compared to the average, but her financial concerns actually vaguely resemble that of normal people. She may not care about how much dinner costs, but she is probably acutely aware of her major expenses like housing and medical. $40m is not even close to “fuck you money”.

    To stress, US$40 million is the floor of what we know she's earned from career winnings. She has absolutely earned more money than that when considering sponsorship deals, paid appearances, yadda yadda.

    She absolutely at least had "fuck you" money. If she doesn't anymore, that's just plain irresponsibility.
