The article says Ted Cruz is a millionaire, yet they provide no proof. And if he is, it is from the sweat of his brow (and his wife’s) not from inheritance and/or cronyism like Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.

That’s a nasty, uncalled for comment. Who the hell do you think you are? You’re a jerk.
I don't know about that, but his wife probably is (self-made, of course, GS pays its managing directors well).
Being a “millionaire” isn’t what it used to be. The term traces back to the time when the dollar was as good as gold - $35 per ounce. Some long-ago fat cat boasted that "someone who has a million dollars is as well of as if they were rich." But with all the inflation in the intervening years, that can hardly be said now, and at this point lotteries usually pay several--sometimes dozens--of millions of dollars.Memories Pizza got well over $3/4 million dollars - and although it makes them pretty comfortable, it doesn’t put them on easy street forever.
You’re right. Cruz may now be a millionaire, but he’s a self made millionaire. Just one more thing to admire about Ted Cruz.
Yes if Ted Cruz is a millionaire good for him. He and his wife earned it. They sure did not inherit from his parents. Cruz said his parents had to declare BK at the time he was ready for college. So he had to take 2 jobs and $100,000 in student loans to go to school.
Plus being a millionaire on paper and having a million bucks in cash are two different things.
I would put Ted Cruz squarely in the middle class as far as his upbringing.
