Can you put a number on wealth?

I certainly thought you could.

Years ago, I was on vacation in Amalfi with my family, admiring the view along the stunning coast only to catch sight of an enormous yacht. As an avid fan of Below Deck, I needed to know who it belonged to and was suitably impressed and jealous to find that it was Jeff Bezos. I remember thinking, that’s real wealth.

This weekend I watched my sister marry the love of her life, easily and radiantly stepping into her “new” chapter, ready to tackle the world alongside her new husband.

There were many whispers of how they had already inspired one another to be more ambitious, healthy and kind, and how marriage would further serve them to build a better future than either could alone.

The next morning, I stumbled on this article: Why Marriage Is Increasingly for the Affluent (WSJ).
