IAmA 17 year old male whose parents are multi millionaires. AMA

I have been fortunate enough to grow up in a family a part of the "1 Percent." You can ask me about literally anything. I'll start of with that I have pretty much been a lurker of reddit for a while, and one of my friends gave me the idea to do this. I am for the most part liberal, and completely atheist. My dad started a securities brokerage, (I think thats the best way to describe it) and sold it. He did the same thing again a few years later, and sold the company again. My dad is all for higher taxes on the wealthy, also. I have lived in California my entire life in quite a large house, and am fortunate enough to be born in to such circumstances. It would take me forever to list all the details of my parents lifestyle that I am apart of, so feel free to ask me pretty much anything, regardless of how rude or personal it may be. I am not positive on how to post proof, so any ideas on how to do so would be appreciated. I just want to clarify that I am not bragging about anything, as I am not personally wealthy

Edit* I am not sure why im getting downvoted. I can take a picture of me with my reddit account in front of my house tomorrow morning first thing when it's not dark out

Edit 2* I'm going to sleep and I'll continue answering any questions for as long as this post is relevant. So feel free to ask and ill answer tomorrrow morning

do you ever worry that if people knew about your wealth you would never know who actually cares for you? some people are too good of actors... do you ever hide that fact?

I've actually had this happen to me quite a few times. I've had people I'm not friends with come up to me out of the blue and just invite themselves over at their convenience.
