They all have enough to recover with ease, aside from a few lost artworks and memorabilia.

Except the things that cant be replaced with money.

Your kids first shoes, wedding photos, family heirlooms, the funny thing about rich people is that they are still people.

Cary elwes is rich enough to you that you doubt his personhood? I have to assume his net worth is seven digits(according to those celebrity net worth sites, $6-8 million. Idk if those are at all accurate, but it feels reasonable for his career). Doctors, lawyers, dentists, accountants, plumbers, contractors, septic tank servicers, and a fuckload of other people are in that range.

That’s a lot of people you’re not sure are people. I get that it was probably not earnest and I’m ruining the joke, but that’s too broad a dehumanization brush for me to find it funny.
