If you found out your cousin was a billionaire (non-famous) and the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, how would you react? Would you be mad he didn’t tell you?
Why is it any of my business?
Somebody would be getting a note demanding a reasonable ransom for my safe return in their Christmas card.
Why would I be mad? This makes no sense to me. How close am I to this “cousin” in this hypothetical?
Also, there are only a few thousand billionaires in the world, even if not “famous” they are all probably on a list or “known” in some capacity - it’s hard not to be noted when you have the accumulated wealth hoard of a dragon.

Do you know what Knight Transportation is? Probably not, but it’s a trucking company worth $8 billion, and it is on the Fortune 500. Do you know who the CEO is? No, you don’t—and his net worth is not publicly disclosed. So even if they are online, unless you are really into corporations, CEO stocks, etc., I doubt you’d know.
When I worked at a country club, I saw many high-net-worth individuals of all races—Black, Hispanic, Asian—and I can tell you that you wouldn’t be able to pick them out in a lineup.
I would be more mad that she was a billionaire than I would be that they didn’t tell me.
You found it, you found the stupid question
This sub needs better moderation.
Sorry, but why? Are they breaking any rules?
No, as a matter of fact, the subject of this particular post fits the sub exactly. It is a stupid question.
It is incredibly stupid. There is no real way to answer it, and any answer would be superficial because it is such a massive hypothetical that the answer itself does not actually matter.
Although, as stated above, it technically fits the sub, it violates the spirit of what this is supposed to be.
I personally feel it is exactly the sprit of community is designed for, no? This community explicitly welcome potentially stupid question in the hope that good discussions can arise from it.
I agree that this question is indeed werid and perhaps even deserves to be called “stupid question”, but I feel this is what this community is welcoming, no?
The original purpose of the subreddit its named after was for questions that you’d feel stupid asking. Like “how often do I actually have to wash a hoodie?” Like common knowledge things you just don’t know. Askreddit was for casual or goofy questions like this.
There is no rule that makes this question unsuited but personally I think it’s a useless community without a strict theme. R/nostupidquestions just became r/askreddit2 and I expect the same to come from this one without any clear rules or moderation.
