Go read the last paragraph of his essay. He's talking about becoming rich. He's not literally saying that billionaire is the only line that matches. Again, you're reading into this too literally. Do you genuinely think that PG would say that making less than a billion dollars is not successful? He's obviously using the "billion" yardstick as a rhetorical device.

So it's a cheap dig at a politician he doesn't like, by misrepresenting and basically mocking her?

Yeah that's not better.

I'm not an AOC fan, but wow that makes PG an ugly political hack, not a clever writer.

There's no way to spin this that makes PG look good.
