Wealthy people are wealthy because of their stock portfolios. If they liquidate that, everything collapses.
The money isn’t real, and I think you do understand that.

You don't seem to know what dividends are. Dividends are x dollars for every share you own that the company gives you that come from the company profits. As a worked example Larry Ellison owns 1.16 billion shares of Oracle. Oracle has paid a total of $1.50 per share in dividends so far in 2026. That is $1.74 billion of liquid cash flowing into Ellison's pocket while Oracle fires tens of thousands of people. Please stop talking if you don't understand what you are talking about.
You sincerely think I don’t know what dividends are, given the rest of this discussion? Honestly?
No because you keep insisting stocks aren't real money but dividend payments absolutely are.
