New Delhi: Hollywood star and Oscar Winning actress Cate Blanchett made headlines after she called herself ‘Middle Class’ during a United Nations Press Conference at the Cannes Film Festival. The actress is trolled for her statement despite owning a Net Worth of over $95 million.
Cate also spoke about her experience as a Good Will Ambassador at the UN and said “I’m white, I’m privileged, I’m middle class, and I think, you know, one can be accused of having a bit of a white saviour complex, but to be perfectly honest, my interaction with the refugees in the field and also in resettled environments has totally changed my perspective on the world.”

However , the Oscar Winning actress is facing the flak of the social media users for calling herself ‘Middle Class’.
Today I read that Cate Blanchett identifies as middle class.
Her net worth is about $95 million USD. That makes her one of the 30,000 richest people on earth.
That puts her in the wealthiest 0.0004% of people alive today.
