My daughter asked me this. How would you explain wealth inequality to a 12-year-old?

For context: ex-wife cheated on me and married this extremely wealthy Chinese guy. Crazy wealthy as in entire apartment building in Beijing’s CBD and a mansion out in the Shunyi district as his “main residences”. Daughter lives in China with my ex-wife, her husband and his son. Daughter lives with me during school breaks / holidays.

    First, understand that to her, inherently, presence and love is being rich to her, then they try to buy her happiness and she doesn’t understand. You are explaining to her about why they are like that, not the other way around. She is asking you because she trusts you. Don’t play their game, let truth happen and ask her how it feels.
