If you make $400,000 a year, would you be proud?

Not if you’re real estate mogul and social media influencer Grant Cardone, who goes by the nickname of Uncle G.

“If I made $400 grand a year, I would be embarrassed with myself as a husband, a father, basically as a human being,” he says in a video on his YouTube channel.

“$400 grand. How do you make sense of $35,000/month? You guys haven’t done the math. You have not done the math because you cannot live on $400 grand a year.”

The motivational speaker also points out that he can’t even live on $2.7 million a year because his plane “eats $2.7 million a year.”

Most people don’t have a private jet. And according to the Census Bureau, the median household income in the U.S. was $70,784 in 2021 — so there’s probably no need to be “embarrassed” if you are making $400,000 a year.

Still, the motivational speaker is right in that we could all use some extra money.
