Honestly, he had more of a corporate management position. I wouldn't say they were ultra wealthy by any means, but I would put them on the upper end of middle class for sure

He was a biochemist food products inventor. Dude was upper class, he just acted trashy.

[–] RupeThereItIs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't he invent that new cereal varnish?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He did, which should have earned him a nice bonus!

Clark was never middle class. He's rich. If the huge house, and fancy neighbors, and all the presents, and the grandiose annual family vacations, and installing a swimming pool in a place where it snows half the year, and taking a whole family to Europe doesn't give that away, then idk what to say.

Didn't they win the Europe trip on a game show?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Huh, maybe they did, I haven't seen it in forever, but the original point still stands.

Having regular vacations used to be normal

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I grew up in the 80's and it was only normal for upper-middle and upper class families. It was fairly normal for middle class single people, but then again, it still is.

Fair Point, but I guess vacation in Europe was not that expensive for Americans in the 80s because of the strong Dollar.
