Coco Chanel on Money

“There are people who have money and people who are rich.”

— Coco Chanel

Comparison + status

A take

She could have meant this like Felix Dennis, describing how $10M is almost rich, $100M, is approaching wealth, etc. or she could have been saying that other things matter more than money. If it's the first, it's just a sign of her level and how much a person can actually earn. If it's the second, then good for her becuase a luxury designer who can still hold family or other values in high regard is indeed very rich.
