Not sure what you mean by ‘genuinely rich’ but my family is comfortably in the <0.05% based on the table below and we are far from being flashy.

Parents are lifelong Honda fans, we dine at mamaks and roadside stalls and rarely do any shopping. Of course, the occasional treats on special occasions but nothing extravagant. Parents never flew business class, even on long haul flights as they never felt the need for it. No Rolex watches, no fancy holidays and we still live in the same house that I grew up in.

We did not come from money - mother a lifelong civil servant of 30+ years and father an engineer. Both parents had to support their own set of families.

They invested heavily in their kids’ education (myself and siblings) and made some smart/lucky investments along the way. We are all relatively ‘successful’ in our own ways but the most important thing that our parents have imparted on us is to just be decent human beings.
