If comparing Bill Gates to Obama, would you consider Obama as poor?

He was from a poorer background yes

Maybe?
No in my opinion.

It depends if you mean absolute or relative poverty.

Absolute, then hell no,- neither are or were poor.

Relative to each other,- then yes, Bill Gates is rich, Obama poor.

But ofcourse not in the way you mean, relative to each other, yes.

oh i fully get what you mean now.

Branson isn't the best example. He was given over £1 million to set up a company by his father. He went from rich to richer.

Bill Gates went from zero to crazy wealthy.

Yeah Branson went to Stowe ffs. Not exacty rags to riches.
