Multi-millionaire Michelle Obama put her foot in her mouth with a hypocritical speech blasting greed at the Democratic National Convention.
The Former First Lady, who owns three mansions with her husband Barack, told the audience that she was raised with a "suspicion" of those who "take more than they need."
Obama made no mention of her fortune of $70 million, which she and her husband acquired through their careers in politics.
Cost of living is one of the key issues in the presidential race, and polls show voters trust Republican Donald Trump more to tackle this problem than his opponent, vice president Kamala Harris.
Despite this disparity, Michelle and Barack Obama gave back-to-back speeches Tuesday night in which they touted Harris as a champion of ordinary people. Describing her own upbringing, Michelle Obama credited her late mother with teaching her to be humble and generous toward others.
"She and my father didn’t aspire to be wealthy… in fact, they were suspicious of those who took more than they needed," she said.
"They understood that it wasn’t enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning."
Obama is an in-demand speaker, known for drawing exorbitant fees for her racially charged, accusatory talks.
She incorporated her lecture about greed into a blistering attack on Trump, whom she accused of benefiting from the "affirmative action of generational wealth."
Despite her own good fortune, she struck an aggrieved tone as she accused Trump of feeling "threatened" by successful black people.
"His limited and narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who also happened to be black," she said, referring to herself and her husband.
Comparing Harris' campaign to her husband's 2008 run for president, Obama said "hope" is coming back to America - despite widespread discontent with high prices that Democrats have blamed on "corporate greed."
Despite the dawning of "hope," Obama warned that Harris still faces opposition from people "who will continue to prioritize building their wealth over ensuring everyone has enough."
Obama didn't give any clear signal that she intends to share her wealth. Instead, she'll carry on collecting huge checks for her bitter, inflammatory rants - and pretending she's a victim all the way.
