Luigi wasn't lower class, tho? You could try to argue his family was middle class but even that's a stretch, his grandfather donated a million dollars on a single event and Luigi attended both a Private High School where he was Valedictorian and he had a Masters Degree from Ivy League University of Pennsylvania.

As I understand it his family owns multiple resorts and real estate and has multiple companies. Not really what I'd call lower class.

Family money isn't necessarily his money, Grandpa may be a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps pussy" kind of guy.

"pull yourself up by your bootstraps pussy"

That's more upper class, I can't imagine real rich people would their own like that. But who knows.

I also don't approve any attacks on his character via this angle. It is important to discuss but the mans work speaks for itself.

His class is secondary discussion here.

IMHO
